Hi All.
Just put down a ESB Quickbrew kit (Aussie Blonde Version) with Safbrew T-58 as recommended by LHBS.
Pitched the yeast at 24C, probably too high but best I could do, I am just starting to learn cooling methods and have a couple of ice bottles and a wet towel around the vat.
Anyway, about 3 minutes after pitching the yeast it starting sinking.
Very strange, never had this happen to me before, but never used this yeast either. I am just a kit man and usually use the yeast that comes with the tins.
Anyway, just wondering what people thought, is this normal I wonder, or did the yeast go straight into suspension or something.
Hope I havent stuffed things up as this was going to be my first kegging brew.
Cheers
Wadey
