White Labs WLP051 California Ale V

From Northern California. This strain is more fruity than WLP001, and slightly more flocculant. Attenuation is lower, resulting in a fuller bodied beer than with WLP001.

Brew Day 8/18 Notes
2013-08-20 6:33am
Steeped Grains in 3 gal 150-160 degrees for 30 minutes. Rinsed grain bag with 1 gal of 70 degree water (should have used 170 degree, but whatever). Once wort cooled, siphoned to bucket and then "splash" aerated between two sanitized buckets. Racked from bucket to 6 gal glass fermenter. Pitched 1.5L starter of WLP051 at 71 degrees. OG: 1.0512 Active fermentation within a few hours. As of 6:30 AM 8/20 still bubbling once every 3-4 seconds and about an inch of tan krausen with A TON of protein and other debris on top. Perhaps need to try straining out more trub using a sterile cheesecloth. NOTE: Malt Extract was AHS branded Munich extract.
Whoa...that is some sulphur

The WLP051 was throwing crazy amounts of sulphur on second day of fermentation. My apartment smelled like dog farts. I read that this yeast can kick out some stink, so I am not too worried. I had never used a starter before this batch, and I think that I will keep it up. The fermentation started fast, but never violent (I have had sluggish fermentations with WLP051 before) and was steady...even until now(day 5). I imagine that if I had pitched WLP001 or 1056 it would have blown the airlock off.
Clearing quite nicely

The color seems a bit darker than I was going for, likely due to caramelization. Color doesn't mean much to me. I tasted before racking to secondary (I know, I know, I just wanted to free up my 6.5 gallon carboy for my black ale), and it had some nice flavors, but there was some overly phenolic flavors and some harsh bitterness that attacked the sides of my tongue. I am hoping that it mellows out with some age. Otherwise I chalk it out to fermentation temp (I just got a chest freezer and thermostat yesterday).
