WLP001 -- It's a beast!

[FedoraDave]

I brewed a batch of FedoraDave's American Ale today. My signature house brew, if you will, since it carries my name. It's really a fairly straightforward blonde ale brewed with Simcoe hops. A good, tasty, session beer.

I've always used WLP001, California Ale Yeast with this recipe, and I've taken to washing it, because I use it in a couple of other recipes as well.

I pitched the yeast at around 2:30 or so this afternoon. It's already bubbling a little, only eight hours in. And this was a yeast starter from a fourth generation harvesting!

This is great stuff!
