Crisp dry fermenting yeast with big, fruity finish. Creates a nice balance for all types of apples, pears and other fruit or fermentables. Allows fruit character to dominate the profile.
Notes
1/2tsp Gypsum added to mash (mash pH ~5.1) 1/4tsp lactic acid added to sparge water (sparge pH ~5.7) started with 5gals tap water at ~140F (grist to water ratio about 1.5) Protein rest @130F for 30 minutes Sacc. rest @156F (dropped to 151F) for 60 minutes Mash out @172F ------------------------------------------------- Racked after 10 days. SG=1.017 Racked into two containers: First was 1Gal, with 9Oz blackberries added Second contained the rest. Non-blackberry beer bottled after 2 weeks. FG=1.017, Alc/Vol=9.0% This one tastes a bit too thin for a La Chouffe clone (the aim). I attribute this to the 1214 yeast which, compared to La Chouffe yeast, attenuates more and produces less esters.
