I brewed an ESB 4 days ago, and this is my first time with the 1968 strain. What it's done in four days beats any yeast I've ever brewed with. It's brought the gravity from 1.060 down to 1.015 and completely cleared. I took a sample and it is crystal clear beer. A little green tasting yes, but 4 days in... I'm blown away by this strain and highly recommend using it. my grain bill was
11 lbs MO
10 oz. carastan
1 oz chocolate
mash temp 153
I fermented at 65C ambient and have now brought it up to 68 for a diacatyl rest. When should I bottle this sucker? I'm feeling 2-3 weeks total in primary and then straight to bottles.
