So I'm having some interesting experience with this yeast. It's still chugging away but took a gravity reading this afternoon and it came out as 1.009 after starting at around 1.091 after a couple weeks.
It is a Belgian Golden Strong: 95% pils and half lb honey malt. Then a lb of clover honey, a lb of dextrose and 2 T of grains of paradise at flameout. 1.5 hrs boil
I did mash very low... Like 142ish.
Just really amazed how much this guy is chugging along still after 2.5 weeks and there is a very thick krausen cap sitting on top. I fermented at 60-64 degrees for 7 days then have slowly raised it up to close to 80 since then. Only pitched 1 smack pack with no starter.
It has some banana and a bit of pepper from the grains bit is very clean tasting with a hint of heat from the alcohol, which I figure will chill out after a few weeks. In using the search feature I didn't find much on this yeast, so I figured I'd post my results
Cheers!
Anyway, I hadn't seen much on this yeast
