Fast fermenting yeast not kveik!

[labrewski]

Any body recommend a fast yeast I've been using safale us 05 and West Coast but they tend to take 3 weeks at 22 degrees my ambient temp in brew space just looking for maybe a 2 week turnaround

3 weeks sounds alot. Pia yeast is very good if you haven't tried it. Done in less than a week but I leave it 10-14 days depending on my shift pattern

I've found Lallemand Nottingham can be quite fast. Their marketing spiel isn't far off:

In Lallemand’s Standard Conditions Wort at 20°C (68°F) LalBrew Nottingham™ yeast exhibits:
Vigorous fermentation that can be completed in 4 days

LalBrew Nottingham™ – High Performance Ale Yeast | Lallemand Brewing

I've never ended fermentation that quickly, but 6 or 7 days is for sure possible.

Agree with @phillc. Nottingham or Crossmyloof Midland is nice and quick. 4 days is about right, but there's often another couple of points that drop slowly if left for a full 2 weeks. Just done a Robinsons Old Tom, 1.079 to 1.017 in 4 days at 20C, then very very slowly to 1.015 in another 10 days.

Very good il look into those tonight thanks

Ive found CML Beòir to be fairly quick: quick to start, gets the job done and drops out cleanly.

Doubt you'll find anything faster than US05, that isn't kveik. Possibly better looking at your process, typically temperature stability, pitch rate, oxygen levels, nutrient levels, water composition etc.

What recipes are you planning to brew?

 

[labrewski]

Mainly ipa style

 

[Rodcx500z]

Wilko Gervin which is nottingham is good but very neutral

 

[chillipickle]

Lallemand Verdant ipa, is mostly done in 5 days, just needs a few days to clean up.I use 05 often, and very rarely does it take longer than a week to finish.
Pitch at 22c then cool to 18.5c for both of the above.

 

[Dazzelknight]

3 weeks for 05 sounds excessive. At 21-22’c I’m usually done in 7-8 days max. Like Sadfield mentioned check ur practice,, Are u aerating ur wort sufficiently,, using yeast nutrient.

If you could spare longer your beer will be better, but 3 weeks is a good minimum.
