2-Row Caramel Malt 60L; Briess
2-Row Caramel Malt 60L; Briess
Sweet, Pronounced Caramel. Characteristics & Applications: • In contrast to Brewers Malt, glassiness is a distinguishing characteristic of Caramel Malt. The glassy endosperm creates the desirable non-fermentable components giving true Caramel Malt the ability to contribute body (mouthfeel), foam foam retention, and extended beer stability, while contributing color and unique caramel flavor. • 2-Row Caramel Malt 60L is a roasted caramel malt that imparts deep golden to red color. • Use 3-7% for Pilsener-style beers for balance. • Use 5-15% to provide color, sweetness and color to amber and red beers. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

Cara-Pils® Malt; Briess
Cara-Pils® Malt; Briess
Characteristics & Applications: • The endosperm is completely glassy and will appear to be darker than standard Brewers Malt. • Carapils® is a very unique dextrine-style malt that adds body, foam retention, and beer stability without influencing color or flavor. • Use to upgrade all types of beer, including light colored beers. • The non-fermentables in Carapils® are very advantageous in balancing body and flavor of dark colored beers. • May be used with or without other specialty malts. • Low usage of 1-5% will help achieve desired results. • Produced from AMBA/BMBRI recommended 2-Row Malting Barley varieties.

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.

Fermentis T-58 Safbrew T-58
Fermentis T-58 Safbrew T-58
Estery, somewhat spicy ale yeast. Solid yeast formation at end of fermentation. Widely used for bottle and cask conditioning. 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.
Notes
Brewed on my HERMS. IPA experiment with two yeasts. I'm thinking of trying a Belgian type ale and I'm using a Safeale 04 English on one carboy and a Safebrew T58 Belgian type on the other for comparison. Mashed at 158F and sparged at 170F. I used the torrified wheat for head retention and the Carapils for mouth feel and foam stability. The final Brix reading was 13%. I use a refractoimeter as I find it easier than a hydrometer. The 1 minute hops were home grown by a friend and were predominately Cascade fresh hops. I'll use Cascade pellets for dry hopping.

Yeast working

The Safbrew T-58 took off within 4 hours and the Safale S-04 was blowing over by 10 hours. I pitch my yeast with the wort between 70-75F by pouring the dry yeast into the carboy. It hydrates in an hour or so and sinks into the wort and always starts pretty vigorously.
Secondary yeast taste

Racked to the secondary today. The T58 yeast has a nice spicy flavor like a Belgian Wit and the S04 had a dry taste with no noticeable off flavor. The S04 was also slightly clearer than the T58. The hop bitterness was pretty good for an IPA but not over the top. The Cascade dry hops should add more hop aroma. Should be nice when carbonated.
Force carbonation

Racked the S-04 batch to the keg yesterday. Chilled overnight. Today I set the regulator to 30 PSI hooked it up to the out on the keg and rocked it on my knee for 6 minutes. Carbonated the way I like an IPA and came out great. I skipped the dry hops but the it has a nice dry flavor and bitterness.
Belgain yeast

Tastes totally different than the London yeast. Definitely has the Belgian yeast profile taste. I plan to make a Belgian style beer and this should be a big help in developing one I'll like.
