Reviving this old thread because Union Jack is so delicious!
I'm brewing this tomorrow with WLP 200 and CTZ instead of Warrior. Plan to ferment at 65*. Curious how WLP 200 will do with this english inspired west coast IPA.
Cheers!
Just now noticed that More Beer has done some of the work on this strain.

They did a trial split batch with 001, 002, and 200 and found that it attenuates like 001 and flocculates like 002, the ester profile is in between 001 and 002. And they...
Anyone have fermentation temperature thoughts on this yeast? I'm doing a clone of Union Jack with wlp 200 this weekend. Was thinking of fermenting at 68* because that's the overlapping recommended temp range for 001 and 002 according to white labs. Thoughts?

Are you opposed to mini-mashing? Using DME can shave off 1-2 hrs easily. Even though I do all grain now, some of my favorite beers were made with extract.
+1 on the creative label idea. Forget fancy bottles and just go for standard brown beer bottles with cool labels.
You've got a year, start saving up the bottles! I personally like the bottles from Deschutes Brewery, the labels come off cleanly and they have hop cones imprinted on them.
Hey Brewing Clamper,
Did you ever brew another batch of Death and Taxes? I love this beer and it would be awesome to have a recipe that gets close to the original.
Cheers!
Yes, the GE holds 4 ball locks on the floor and it is a tight fit. I'm also trying the thermostat mod so I don't have to buy an external controller but its not looking so good for that (screw is all the way in but temp is hovering around 32F).
Still, I'm happy with this keezer!!
Just in case anyone is in the market, Home Depot has a sale on the GE 7.0 cubic footer.
