Quick starter imparts an excellent British ale flavor.

It worked out great for a Russian Imperial Stout. I have a 1/2 bbl SS brew tank with a blow of tube going into a bucket. The yeast was so active within about 18 hrs that it blew about a violin of water on my floor from gas production. It started out strong.

I've used this a few times for porters browns etc. and like the flavor profile. Last time however I made a starter with it and it began a vigorous fermentation....but I let the swamp cooler dip into the 50s for a few days while I was away and could not restart fermentation despite warming and agitating. Super flocculant on the samples. Another starter with some notty was required to finish it off. My fault on the temps but other yeasts I have used recover from this kind of mistreatment. On the plus side it was a good catalyst to finally invest in some proper temperature control gear.

I use this yeast in some of my English Brown Ale recipes. Will impart a mineral taste and lets the malt flavors come through very well.

I love the attenuation from this strain, another good english strain that is quite versatile

Used this as a primary yeast in a flanders red ale. Great attenuation and flavor profiles. Very clean yeast! Will use again.

I usually use Thames valley ale yeast for small English beers like ordinary bitters but this is nice for bigger English brews.

I had used 1056 for my ales for quite some time, but I started to split the batches and use different yeasts and ended up liking the 1028 London better. Give it a try it is a fantastic yeast.
