I just received this response from Lance the owner of Omega yeast about Sundew. "Sundew can definitely kick off a ton of sulfur during fermentation (its parent strain, Belgian A, does the same thing). Give it a little more time and that should condition out. Everything else sounds on point...

Could be the difference. Appreciate it.

Thanks for the information. I did my normal 1 minute with pure O2 and added nutrient in the last 5 minutes of the boil. I did add .5 lb of raspberry honey in the boil which is the only thing I did differently than my typical beers. OG was 1.044 so I didn’t use a starter and the yeast was only a...

Ok interesting. Maybe I have something else going on. Time will tell. Thanks.

I'm on day 8 of fermenting a Blonde Ale with Sundew at 70 degrees and it is still putting off a strong Sulphur smell even though it appears to be almost done fermenting as the krausen has almost dropped. I know it's parentage is OYL-024 which is a Belgian yeast so I expected maybe some rotten...

Great thanks for the info. I'll post if I get anything from it in a simple blonde with hints of Huell melon, Strata and HBC 630.

Hey there. I'm currently fermenting a Blonde with Sundew and was curious if you got any yeast character out of it? It's currently on day 2 at 70 degrees and my basement smells like rotten eggs! This yeast produces one of the biggest Krausens I've ever had. Thanks

I got mine from Atlantic Brew Supply.

Thanks!

What temperature did you ferment it at? Curious as a couple videos imply the warmer it goes the more berry notes.

Hey just seeing this post. I live in Fredericksburg about half way between Highmark and Red dragon. There is a stafford homebrew club here but I don't think it's very active.

I thought the same thing. Very excited about it too!

Any updates on how this turned out? I'm currently fermenting a hazy IPA at 66 degrees with a mix of verdant yeast and sundew. Curious if you got any of the flavor notes Omega claims it makes. Thanks

I didn't, however I went with what I posted and recall the beer being pretty good.

Is this still available?
