Wyeast 1450 Denny’s Favorite 50
Wyeast 1450 Denny’s Favorite 50
This terrific all-round yeast can be used for almost any beer style, and is a mainstay of one of our local homebrewers, Mr. Denny Conn. It is unique in that it produces a big mouthfeel and accentuates the malt, caramel, or fruit character of a beer without being sweet or under-attenuated.

Excellent beer! This will be a regular brew for sure. The Wyeast 1450 give the beer a velvet mouthfeel.
Clean and simple...

This should make a very smooth and interesting brew. I've whipped up a few batches with the same hop combination and all efforts have turned out well. Nice balance on your recipe!
