Hornindal....underpitch to maximize fruity esters?

[Hwk-I-St8]

I had it in my head that I read somewhere to underpitch to get the best fruity elements out of this yeast.

I am planning a NEIPA this weekend using it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

• Low to moderate pitch rate (0.2-0.6M/mL/°P). Extreme low is not needed, but overpitching should be avoided.
• Nutrients.
• Hold fermentation at 95°F

That'll give you a delicious tropical fruit bomb -- pineapple and mango.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. I'm not exactly sure how to do the math for your pitch rate formula. Any advice on how to apply that?
