I did a AG milk/oatmeal stout on Tuesday and i used Muntons Dry Ale Yeast. I was wondering has anyone else used this stuff? And how was it?
I pitched it a little warm, at 33 deg C and within 40 mins the airlock was going and after about 2 hours there was about 2 inches of Krusen. The only thing i am concerned about is that this morning (less than 2 full days) the Krusen has fallen back in and the airlock has slowed. I know everthing will be fine as we all have used S04 at some stage and that stuff goes off too.
It should be a great beer, with over 6kg's of grain with the base being Maris Otter and some Roast barley with 0.5kg's of Flaked barley & 0.5kg's of Quick Oats. I reckon i will have to eat this beer with a knife and fork. Although the OG was only 1.055 not quite what i was aiming for as i did not truss Beersmith (again) and over sparged by 2 litres. Anyway i guess the yeast goes off quicker when you ferment a bit warmer, i had trouble keeping it under about 24 deg C. But i will rack after 6 or 7 days and see what happens.
I love ALL GRAIN brewing.
