Saturday, due to many reasons, is the first time I have brewed in a number of months. I got to use my brand new Blichman 15 gallon kettle finally which was great. The brew went fine. Actually better than fine. 81% eff. 10 gallon batch of Ed's haus pale ale. little over five gallons in two carboys. I have done this beer a number of times now and have always used Nottingham, this time I decided to try one carboy on Nottingham and one on Saf-33. Never used Saf-33 before this batch.
The saf-33 took off like a rocket formed krausen the next morning and has already fallen. Nottingham batch is rocking along as expected. The couple questions I have are these.
The Saf-33 batch seems MUCH lighter in color than the nottingham. The color is lighter than what I am used too. The only thing that changed from me brewing this in the past is the yeast. So did the Saf-33 actually have an effect on the color? Is this just more yeast suspended in the carboy that I am seeing? And is it typical for the saf to be more quick to krausen than the nottingham?
I took pictures of both and can post them later.
I believe I am going to do a 10 gallon batch of RIS in a couple weeks. Should I try it on both cakes? Or should I just build a starter. Again I really don't have experience with Saf-33. Any thoughts on this as well?
