Personally I really like the S-04 it has done a great job in a special bitter I made. It ferments and flocs out fast. It seems to ferment well even in the lower 60's. Just finishing up a batch and brewed another one last week. Ferment was done in 4 days at about 66 deg. Love how fast this dry...

Been drinking the Cr Ale from this yeast for a couple of weeks now. As most lager yeast ferments it hit just the right flavor about 5 weeks after fermentation. I have a O-Fest 2nd gen from the Cr Ale and a Bock cold conditioning right now. Will see how they taste around Christmas time. This will...

Nice job!

I will let you know what I tihnk of the yeast in about 5 weeks. Still slowly fermenting but most of the ferment is done after 9 days. Will move into the walk in to condition for two weeks before kegging. Will then condition in the keg about another two weeks. I've read where this yeast does...

Had this in my garage rebuild thread. Thought I'd share it here on the DIY thread.

Brewed last night. split the active starter between five carboys. Airlock was already starting to push the water after only about 30 mins from shaking the wort to oxygenate. Will see how the ferment is progressing today after work. So far this fermentis dry yeast seems very fast at starting...

Made the starter 3 hours ago. Used 2 packs in 2 1/2 gal starter. Already fermenting! Brewing on thursday!

Getting ready to try the s189 for the 1st time myself. Will be making a starter with two packs in a 2 1/2 gal starter for a 24 gal batch of a Cr Ale. If all tastes good will pitch slurry in a helles.

Not yet, still have a bit left from last years buy.

and more pics

Finally got around to doing my round to project for the brewery. I was suppose to do this about 5 years ago after rebuilding the shop and brewery. Well here it's finally finished!

Just dumped that starter I made, started to have have a slight after taste. It was used in 9 batches. Went and bought 2 new vials and made another starter last night. Need to get a scope, only real way to monitor the yeast. Can probably safely do at least 6 batches as long as I keep feeding the...

BTW several of us brew the 24 gal batches. I'm a lush, but not that much of a lush:)

I just came across this thread. I've been maintaining a starter in a 5 gal carboy of a Lager yeast. I make 24 gal batches and use a 1/2 gal of the starter (with the liquid) for each 5 gal batch. I'm am now on the 6th or 7th use of this strain. I keep about a 1/2 gal in the carboy after pitching...

Have not visited this thread for a while. Going through the old messages I saw about someone mentioning doing something for the fireman. My neighbors and I had our 5th annual Pig Roast fundraiser for the fire company. We have it at the shop and use several backyards with live music and lots of...

I like your pic of the dog licking the connector. Should give the sour your looking for:)

Subscribe to this thread. You'll see when I do the next buy. Only do one or two a year though.

BTW I forgot who gave me that homebrew to try. I wanted to know who to thank for that. Did not drink it yet, think I will on Sat when Tony and I brew a batch.

Went smooth and quick unloading the grain. It helps with a good group to unload it fast. Nice meeting everyone and seeing a few old friends as well. Those whom still need to pick up your grain, PM with days that will work for you.
