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.
Notes
Toast the flaked barley and the Brown Malt at 350 Deg. F for 10-15 minutes. Crush and add to other grains. Steep for 30-40 minutes at 150F. Sparge and fill kettle. Add dark liquid malt and bring to boil. Follow hops schedule. Add the pale liquid malt at the 30 minute point.

It's not bitter enough
2008-08-28 5:56pm
It has to many ingredients. The price is high enough thou.
For laughs! RDWHAHB!

I named this for laughs only -- Please don't take homebrew as a political statement! :-) I hadn't realized until after I posted it that "AMERICAN VICTORY" was so obviously a ...statement? In truth, I had to split the extract pale-and-dark for the recipe -- then I thought "Hey! Obama!" Enjoy. Brewing tomorrow.
Good flavor - but needs pH adjustment
2008-12-15 9:21am
This one is a good quick dirinker now, but I should have adjusted teh pH in the steep. The roasted grains leave teh wort too acidic, and the result is a finish that is almost sour or astringent. I also may have over-sparged the grainbag.
