  • 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

Actual Yeast is US-05. Mash in with 15 Lt of water @ 67.8°C for 1 hr mash out with 8.40 Lt @ 75.6°C . I batch sparge until the gravity hits 1.010 or I get my 33Lt of water.

No Extract?

With no extract and only 3kg of base malt, seems you must have good technique to hit your ABV target. Have you brewed this before?

Golden Ale

Yes have brewed this one before but it was an extract version , this time I did an all grain recipe . I just batch sparge . Hit my target again today , well actually only two points off got an S.G. of 1.055 instead of 1.057, but whose complaining.It has a very rich golden colour, I added 245gm ( 8.64 oz)of carapils into the recipe as well . This is very quaffable. Looking at 5.5% alc.Boiled it for 90 min.Actually had extra hops so I put 27.5 gm of hops @ 60 min,17.5 gm of hops @ 20 min ,15 gm of hops @ 5 min and will use 15 gm dry hop after I transfer to secondary. That is the hop addition @ 0 min .

This was an all grain recipe . I know it has been some tome since I did this brew . If you like fruit flavours in your beer you will like this ,it has good body and mouth feel and has a light passion fruit flavour . I will be using this as my house ale .
