Shrike 6,724 Posted September 5, 2020 I'm thinking of using it instead of US-05 in a pale ale I'll be brewing in a few weeks. Anyone brew with it? Thoughts? Likes/dislikes? I did a search for it on here and most of the mentions of it are from seven-eight years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bonsai & Brew 7,058 Posted September 5, 2020 I like it because it’s not US-05.🙂With a west coast Amber ale currently fermenting with BRY, I’m expecting a neutral flavor profile that lets the malt character dominate. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bonsai & Brew 7,058 Posted September 5, 2020 Maybe @Nickfixit will have an opinion as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nickfixit 4,033 Posted November 29, 2020 I see I was called for an opinion on BRY-97. I used it in Cream Ale, Wit and IPA Cream ale was initially butterscotch taste, but cleaned up then just corn - so meh. Wit was dryish and OK I?PA was very nice very fruity - I used some NZ hops. (The ? denotes fairly low IBUs, I used 3 oz. hops in 2 gal for late boil, flameout and dry hop adds.) So I would say Go for it. I think it gets good reviews in Biotransformation so may accentuate fruity hops flavors. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HoppySmile! 2,357 Posted May 17 Bry 97 is my go to ipa killa yeast! Bad thing is only local brew shop discontinued it a year ago. If I have a stuck fermentation and outta Safale 05, I use this and has never failed! I’ll sometimes even mix with liquid yeast and never had any issues. It’s like workhorse for ipa. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
