Hi all,
I have a conical fermentor and I'd like to brew something a bit special that I can leave for around 6 weeks undisturbed (as in, I only have access for the first two weeks and then after 6 weeks).
I was thinking Dubbel / Belgian strong ale, but I'm brewing on Friday and have no liquid yeast, so no yeast starter, so that plan is out. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas for stronger beers (i.e. that would benefit from the longer time in the fermentor - I can always drop the trub and yeast after a week or two if needed) that still work well with regular dry yeast. Something beyond an IIPA...
I have access to US-05, S-04, Nottingham, Abbey Ale (dried), German wheat (dried).
Cheers,
Matt
