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
Just a summer Ale. kind of a Wit/Blonde hybrid just for kicks. Mash at 152. add zest from 1-lime and 1-orange with 10-min reamaing.

first gravity reading
2009-07-20 7:48am
I Brewed this one on July 4. I took the first gravity reading on July 19. It needs to stay in primary for a few more days. Of course, I tasted the sample... wow! it has a lot of potential... even warm and not carbonated, it is really good. I was very sceptical of this brew, but am a believer now. For such a light beer it has a great deal of character. The spices are not over-done, and it has a very laid-back complexity to it that is going to keep it from lasting long...
