Going to brew a ten gallon batch on Monday one batch with 1318 and a second with Trillium Can (assuming Conan) dregs. Going to split the dry hop to create 5 gallons of Melcher (Mosaic) & Congress (Galaxy).
My question is which yeast strain would you pair with the individual clone recipes based on past experiences? I have only brewed once with 1318 and it was a Simcoe Pale Ale that focused on the dankness over the juicy fruit. Thanks!
Personally, Mosaic and Galaxy are juicy but Simcoe not so much. Simcoe will provide more pine and possible dankness and slight passion fruit. You'll get juicy with Mosaic and Galaxy. So to answer your question, I don't think it'll matter which hop you pair with which yeast. Both will be juicy.
The difference I've seen between Conan and 1318 is how much they drop out of suspension. 1318 hangs around more and looks more turbid while Conan clears a lot better. Not sure about comparing esters or attenuation between the two.
