Hello all,
I've used this yeast strand once before. And, like many of you, I experienced a minerally/swampy flavor intially. However, once the yeast dropped out completely, I was left with a very clear, bright, and clean tasting beer.
With that said, I noticed that the lag time was pretty long the first go around, and I am experiencing a lag time of +24 hours in the EPA I just brewed.
I know a lag time of 24+ isn't uncommon, I just wanted to see if anyone else had the same experience with the yeast, so I know for sure it's a characteristic of the strand.
Pitching notes:
Pitched at 62, 2000ml starter, 10 gals of wort, 1.061 Wort OG, 1.050 starter.
