Hi,
Made a 1.060 Lakewalk APA on Sunday, split the 42 litre batch into 2 x 25 litre buckets.
One bucket got Wyeast 1272 (2L starter) and other bucket got 1 x packet of US-05 Dry Yeast.
Today, 5 full days after i pitched the yeasticles:
US-05 is at 1.018, tastes very fruity, not as much aroma.
1272 is at 1.040!!!!!! much more aroma, this bucket tastes great.
Amazing how the two different yeasts, in exactly the same temp and FV's have fermented at such different speeds.
Is 1272 well known as a slow fermenter? I was hoping to get down to 1.014, will the Wyeast even get there...i don't have till christmas!!
