“AMAZING REUSE!!”

By: Scott | Date: Apr., 4th 2013 | Beer(s) Brewed: Maibock

 

Washed this from a previous batch. Made two separate 2L starters. One measures 1.020.

77% EFFICIENCY!!!! 1.062 to 1.014. 64 deg F. 11 days

 

“FIRST TIME I USED IT”

By: Mike Bruffey | Date: Apr., 2nd 2013 | Beer(s) Brewed:American Wheat

 

First time I used it. I made a starter, fermented at 70 degrees and beer was mostly done in 3+ days. I cold crashed it leaving the beer crystal clear. FG was 1.015, down from 1.055. Great tasting beer. Not your ordinary hazy looking wheat beer. Will use it for another style and compare results.

 

“... WOULD MAKE CHARLIE PROUD”

By: Tony V | Date: Dec., 5th 2012 | Beer(s) Brewed: Double IPA

 

With 100% pale malt grist mashed@148f for 90min and lots of fine citrusy American Hops Cry Havoc was able to create an excellent I2pa that achieved 80% apparent attenuation! Hop bitterness and flavor came through well, but was balanced with a pleasant fruitiness. Give this yeast extra time to do its job and you will be rewarded with a beer that would make Charlie proud!!

 

“RYE NOT?”

By: Jerry Pritchett | Date: Dec., 5th 2012 | Beer(s) Brewed: Rye Ale

 

I recently brewed Charlie Papazian's Rye Not? recipe right out of his book. With the first use of his yeast, I figured to match it with one of his recipes. Wow! What a great beer. This will be a house favorite. I am going to try this same recipe and use lager temps. Could I get any better than this????

 

“ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITES ... ”

By: Nathan Hall | Date: Dec., 5th 2012 | Beer(s) Brewed: Porters, Stout

 

Strong fermentation, quick starts with O2. Perfect flavor profile for the late harvest ales, porters, and stouts I brew for Fall Season. Goes strong even with primary fermentation temps in the high 50's. One of my absolute favorites, it's a great break from the American/English Ale yeasts typically used for these styles
