So this is a force carbed sample from leftovers after kegging today. Not great lighting on pics but this is pretty nice.
Grain Bill: 70% 2 row, 11% spelt, 11% malted oats, 5% CaraFoam, 3% Honey Malt
Hops: Citra (Citra LUPOMAX for DH), Riwaka, Galaxy
Yeast: S33, S05 in a ~80%/20% ratio, I pitched a full packet of S33 and added 3 grams of S05 to help with attenuation considering many here have posted about s33 sucking in the attenuation dept.
Needless to say - the mouthfeel is fantastic! medium to full body and very soft. The hop combo is great and zero hop burn...zero! the galaxy is great! My only complaint is that the attenuation still sucked lol. OG was 1.073 and FG was 1.020. So ~71% AA. Not sure if it simply under attenuated OR I simply under pitched too much as well.
@HopsAreGood any tips on how much dry yeast to pitch given my OG that would be appreciated since I know you been doing lots of dry yeast blending. This is one of the things that drives me batty regarding dry yeast: having a better idea on cell counts. Tried to generate some hop creep but no dice lol. So for me its a little too sweet.
So next time, I'll bring some dextrose to the table as well I think. Again - the grain bill is great and the hop combo is great. Yeast esters are also very good. Just wish it was a little lower on final gravity and a little drier.
