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
Basically easy Great Basin Clone with better hops. 2 oz. cascades in secondary, not shown.

First Tasting

Tried first bottle with less than 2 weeks of aging -- under carbonated, but clean flavor. Malty, maybe needs a tad more hops (I'm a hophead, though, so YMMV) Shaking up the sediment with the drink brought up the hop flavor without adding bitterness -yummy! Will report back when it's closer to ready. Just wish this was kegged instead of bottled!
Good tasting hops

Got plenty of time on it now -- the hops come across on the tongue quite nicely. Caramel flavors with centennial and cascade coming through nicely. Not bitter at all, though. I'm beginning to wonder whether I was late on the 40 minute Cascade addition, as it's all flavor, not bitter. Very drinkable, but too high in alchohol to drink too much.
