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
Don't try this at home... unless you're as crazy as I am. Mandrake root is dangerous to use... do some research before you attempt this recipe.

I have myself brewed a mandrake beer. I roughly followed a recipe from Sacred and Herbal Healing Beers. Some didn't care for it but many did as it tastes rather like a good malt liquor. I still have yet to try more than one in a sitting. I calculated my recipe so that an average lethal dose would be an entire case, so it is fairly safe.
