I've put on a part-mash porter recently and for want of a better ready-to-pitch yeast, chucked in rehydrated DCL S-04. It's now fermenting at about 16-17C. Normally when using this yeast, I've fermented at 20-21C but the recent cold snap has prevented this. Does anyone have any experience that might tell me what to expect?
As a side note, I only put 1Kg of extract into 2.8Kg of grain wort. OG at pitching was 1.040. I planned to add another 1 or 1.5Kg of DME once fermentation took off (which it now has - active bubbling). I was thinking to add the extra wort still a bit warm to raise the temp by a degree or two. Feedback appreciated.
Cheers,
PoMo.
