Fermentis S-04 Safale S-04
Fermentis S-04 Safale S-04
A well-known, commercial English ale yeast, selected for its fast fermentation character and its ability to form a very compact sediment at the end of the fermentation, helping to improve beer clarity. This yeast is recommended for the production of a large range of ale beers and is specially well adapted to cask-conditioned ales and fermentation in cylindro-conical tanks. Sedimentation: high. Final gravity: medium. Pitching instructions: Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C ± 3C. Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C. Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.

Beer is in primary going to secondary today. As soon as this is bottled and carbonated I will update with tasting comments.
Hops Addition at 15 Min

If you notice the 15 min hops addition it is very odd. What I did was add .2 oz of Hallertau hops and .2 oz of Northern Brewer. This gives me a bitterness of 6.5 or so for 15 min. Just incase you were looking over the recipe and had some questions.
