Spotted Tongue 2024 Dortmunder Export

Spotted Tongue 2024 Dortmunder Export

German Helles Exportbier • All Grain • 5.5 gal

Old Man Stan

Want to compare Cellar Science "German" yeast to my go-to Saflager 34/70. The Cellar Science yeast was slow to start, and I added a packet of 34/70 as backup insurance. I was out of Hallertaur and Tetnang hops, so used the last of my Cashmere.

  • Fermentis W-34/70 Saflager W-34/70

    Fermentis W-34/70 Saflager W-34/70

    This famous yeast strain from Weihenstephan in Germany is used world-wide within the brewing industry. Thanks to its technological properties, this strain has become the most popular strain for lager brewing and is used by industrial breweries and brewing groups around the globe. 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 23C ± 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

Modeled after a beer I had at the 2024 Southern California Homebrew Festival. Yeast is actually Cellar Science "German", not an option. Mash at 150, ferment at 55.
