Has anyone used WLP011 for an altbier? LHBS didn't have WLP036 (which I wanted), so I got WLP011 instead.
 
Yes I did just not to long ago. I usually do very well in comps but this one did not have the right profile judges were looking for. The beer was fine and I liked it but could have been better if I had the 036.

Can u explain what profile it had? Did it have a clean tasting character? In your opinion, what was it lacking with the wlp011?
