Notes: Fermentation:
Start fermentation at 20C for 2 days. Raise temp to 25C. Primary 1 week, secondary 1 week. Made a robust starter with DME. This yeast is low flocculating in the starter, but a beast in the wort. There was a good inch of trub and a very thick krausen that acted like meringue. Definitely collected a generous sample for reuse. Force carbed at 20 psi over 2 weeks.
Tasting notes:
Tropical fruits on the nose and very mild spice in the middle of the tongue. Very warming, but no bite from the alcohol. The yeast imparts a sweet, bready flavour with a very mild toasty character. No hops or tannin astringency.
Recommendations:
Would make an excellent holiday ale with the addition of more spice, particularly clove, cinnamon and cardamom. Could up the bittering hops to suit your taste. Since the alcohol isn't on the tongue, watch out! |

- Ended up tasting a bit like olives (wtf?) and had to bin it, maybe the stainless wasn't cleaned/passivated properly as it was the first ude of new stainless fermenter. |

Notes: Medieval ale.
At end of mash, add boiling water to reach 170 F then go directly to fermentor - no sparge, no boil!
Let cool in fermenter before pitching yeast (~12 hours).
Open fermentation - cloth cover only. Fermentation was slow and no foam cap.
Drinkable as soon as fermentation stoped in about a week.
Really funky at first, but settled down in a few more weeks.
Bottled for aging with no priming sugar, but still over-carbonated a bit - try lower mash temp next time.
Not sweet at all, like everyone says it would be without hops.
After 3-4 months it is really quite good with toasty malt, a little smoke, and lingering wild yeast funkiness. Dry, not sweet. |

| Notes: Light and crisp. The IBU’s are on the low side, but there is a nice sweet/spicy balance to the beer. The great fresh taste of a craft ale with an extremely clean finish. This reminds me of what a local craft brewery might come out of the gates with to win over a new market. Very drinkable with wide appeal. I’ve yet to have anyone, even BMC drinkers not say it’s one of the best beers they’ve tasted….period. The secret lies in the name. I moved through Northern Brewer, Nugget and Pearle hops, all in combination with Cascade. Even went with a strict Cascade hop bill, but was just a bit on the tart side for this lighter grain bill. |
