Here's another revival of the thread. Pitched M44 dry into a 1.048 gravity rye APA at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Wort was oxygenated my normal way of using an electric paint stirrer for 30 seconds. Took off 18 hours later. I've moved the bucket to my basement where I hope to keep the...

Yup. No place for the CO2 to go. Hops made a gooey stopper. Just a few ounces less beer and the whole thing would have worked out fine. Live and learn.

I'm sure I'm not the first to do this ... but for your entertainment: An Imperial IPA in secondary for three weeks on Wyeast 3711. Two days before bottling I dumped in 2 oz of Citra and 1 oz of Mosaic. You can see the results below.

I had both in this batch. The dark stuff was loose in the dregs of my bottles.

My last batch of IIPA got an infusion of hop pellets that I just threw into the fermenter without a bag to contain them. This is the first time I have done this and this is the first time I have had the dark sediment in my bottles. I agree with astacey that the dark stuff is residual grain or...

I just used this yeast to dry out an Imperial IPA batch. My Imperial IPAs have typically been a bit too sweet for my tastes. Gravity went from OG of 1.070 down to 1.020 on Wyeast 1272. Then I re-pitched with the 3711. Krausen disappeared within a few days of the re-pitch. This was a sloppy...
