What Shall I Try

[Timmsy]

Lots of saaz and a lovely pilsner.

Just finished a run of 3 beers using this yeast.

#1 was a simple Bo Pils. 100% wey pils, bittered with perle, saaz for flavour/aroma - single decoction

#2 was a german pils, 75% pils, 25% munich, bittered with perle, tettnang for flavour/aroma.

#3 was an oktoberfest of sorts. 95% vienna, 5% caramunich II. Nelson sauvin all the way thru.

Bo pils lasted 24 hours on a camping trip with mates.
German pils got tapped on sunday and is a nice clean german lager, the recipe (from BenH) is linked in my signature

The occy is still lagering away but cheeky samples are very malty with that unique NS flavour/aroma. Looking forward to it in the new year.

Ive just done a Pils and an Oktoberfest with this yeast, ferments quite quickly at the start then slows right down... takes about two weeks to ferment at 10*c from 1055

Hi again Yardy

I've had this problem before and gone ahead to make a starter with the pack contents and haven't had a problem. The starter did take almost a week to get to high krausen but did go great.

just goes to show, no activity doesn't mean it's buggered, had action in the airlock this morning after 12 hrs and it's ticking over slowly but surely now @ 10*C.

this liquid yeast thing's not so difficult :icon_cheers:

cheers
