This is :off: but my 3944 starter looked the same!

I say go for it. I made a Saison last summer with cascades that turned out great.

1056 is always a winner

Well how about a munich based porter?? This sounds yummy: http://www.brews-bros.com/index.php/topic/17331-munich-porter/

I used 3724, and I got mine down to 1.006 doing a mini mash with pils and wheat LME. Took some time though.

That yeast flocs out with the best of them and I love the fact that it's like a rock in the bottom of the bottle. I've brewed a crystal clear ESB and Brown with it. It's a great yeast.:rockin:

You are way low on hops. Maybe kick it up around 30-35 IBU or so just to balance out the malt if you don't want it too hoppy. I just brewed an ESB about as big and I was in the 40s. But it will make beer if you make it how you have it.

+1 on the S-04. Love that beast, I mean yeast... or do I ?!?!

Well brew day went off pretty much without a hitch. OG came in at 1.060 so I hit just under 80% eff. :rockin:

aaacckkk! I was wrong... I go down to the freezer and the williamettes are only 4.8AA. So I'm going to go with the extra half ounce at 30 min. That will get me to 43IBU. Anyways hit my mash temp dead on 151dF and the new chiller is all ready to go. Too bad this brew day started so late...

Gotcha. The first time I made this beer I missed the bitterness completely, it was around 32 IBU which was too style but not balanced so this time I'm going to up it to my recipe with your suggestion if I think it needs more bitter to balance the malt. I really like ESBs and would like...

I think you are right. I'm going to stick to the original. :mug: Gotta get up early to build my new immersion chiller (my original was too small - took way too long to bring the temp down. Going w/50foot of 3/8 copper this time:rockin:) then I think it's go time for brewing this recipe.

Hmm.. style guidelines say 30-50 IBU's for an ESB, are you are talking the proper amount of IBU's to balance out the malt? I could go with: 1 oz Target 8.6%AA 60min .5 oz Williamette 5.5%AA 30min 1 oz Williamette 5.5%AA 10min 1 oz Golding 4.5%AA Flameout That would get me to 46IBU but...

This is version2.0 of my ESB. I really liked the grain bill but the original was underhopped so I came up with this: 7 Gallons boiled 5.5 gallon batch 80% eff. 10 lb Canadian Pale Ale Malt .75 lb Victory .5 Crystal 60L .5 Crystal 80L I have a nice 1968 cake from a english PA I'm...

I'm planning a Wit w/ 3955 but I hate to throw away yeast after only one beer. Does anyone have any suggestions for a follow up recipe for a 3955 cake?

So I'm brewing my first EPA tomorrow. I know it's the same catagory as an ESB but I'm trying to keep it a pale ale. It's also not a very traditional grain bill but I have 100lbs of candian pale malt so I'm definately not going out to buy MO. I would also prefer UK Crystal but my LHBS didn't...
