In less than 24 hours we are already at 1.032 this yeast is a very fast fermentor!

You think it’s a joke until you got to Hombrew Con and see the gold for Glitter Beer.

It’s pretty solid Jam! They are a newer band but it’s still rock and roll.

Not sure it will be dark enough tho.

Well the brew store only had the candi in dark not amber so I think it will be dark enough. I also swapped out that yeast for the Triple Double by Imperial Yeast.

From their site:

B48 Triple Double
The perfect strain for your classic abbey ales. Triple Double produces moderate esters with low to no phenolic characteristics. This strain is tried and true and works perfectly in a production environment. Keep an eye on Triple Double, it likes to sit on top of the wort throughout fermentation which may result in a slow fermentation.

TEMP: 65-77F, 18-25C // FLOCCULATION: MEDIUM // ATTENUATION: 74-78%

And Colter, to answer your question… supposedly it’s the actual carmelizing (boiling to the Candi stage) that develops those flavors.

Yep, i was kidding about the extract. The real question is when is that but brown going to be ready?

I basically boil down my first runnings into caramel, then add to the kettle. The idea is to provide a subtle increase in caramel notes.

Isn’t that just LME? Boiled to syrup wort?

What are you doing up at 4 in the morning? Don’t see the video!

He is just getting ready to brew!

Jim your video is too big for the site. You can upload pics but videos are giant. You can always upload to youtube and post a link. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dQjA5ofWVs

I watched that video and it was great. I love the vat of yeast slurry.

I would have to agree the utilization is lowered a little bit. The math involved in the IBU is not really that good in the first place. https://www.experimentalbrew.com/experiments/writeups/ibu-lie-kind

The IBU math is based on one person’s system and he only used whole leaf hops. Super fast cooling I think has more of a lowering effect than a low boil point.

To be honest its not that big of a deal but there is a little maintenance. That being said this is a great way of capturing wild yeast strains.

I think I am going to bring it back and have it reassessed. It’s funny how lagers (or any beer) change with time.
