I've just brewed a beer with this yeast and mine attenuated much higher than I expected. The stats say 75% but I got a whopping 88%.

Sounds great. Do you mind running through the steps you did to culture the yeast from the can?

Interested in this. I have a packet in the fridge I'd like to use.

I fermented at 18, does temperature normally have an impact on krausen?

Interesting, what temperature are you fermenting at?

I finally got round to using the pia yeast. This thing is like a ninja, no krausen at all yet it's taken 1.052 wort down to 1.020 in less than 2 days from pitching. I was going to do a biotransformation dry hop but I've missed high krausen.

Would be interested to know this too. I'm doing a brew tonight using this yeast.

I've been looking into this as well. From what I understand the 30l Klarstein/Brewdevil machines have a 6.5l deadspace under the malt pipe, which in theory allows for recipes to be brewers full volume (no sparge). I've tested this on a number of recipes in Brewfather and it all seems a go-er.

I signed up to premium yesterday. Such a good piece of software under constant development. If you're not already, I'd recommend joining the Brewfather group on Facebook.

Exactly. I only do small batches so I'm slowly working my way through the 500g of Citra, Idaho 7 and Ekuanot I got. Not had to buy hops for my last 3 brews.

I've entered these before and I've won once. I know I could just buy the hops if I wanted to but it's a just a bit of fun with the potential to get some hops. If you're solely entering raffles to get your hops then you have an issue. Pretty sure he gets his hops in the large 10kg bags from...

Of course! I didn't realise that either!

Just looked on the CML website and a few more new Berlin yeasts have appeared. Looks like they're turning into the new Mangrove Jack's with the sheer number they've got now. FOUR. English Ale Yeast. Suitable for a large range of ales inc. Bitter, IPA, Brown Ale, Stouts, etc.. Attenuation...

Looks great! Will be using this for my next brew in a similar style.

Still can't get over how hazy the Haze yeast is. This is a single malt beer, no oats or haze inducing adjuncts, after almost a month in the bottle.

Just tried my second batch with the haze yeast, a Simcoe Maris Otter Smash. Super juicy and hazy.

I have the kiwi yeast but I've not had the chance yet. If you use it let me know how it goes. What are you expect from it? I'm expecting quite a clean yeast similar to us-05.

Yeah, roused the yeast, increased the temperature and added more yeast. Dry hops going in tomorrow so I'll keep an eye on it. Good shout about the plastic bottle. If the carbonation was getting too much could I, in theory, open and then recap the glass bottles to release pressure?

An update on this. Checked the gravity again today to see if it had progressed any further. It hasn't. It's still at 1.016. Everything I've tried to get fermentation going again hasn't worked. Would you accept this is as low as it's going to go based on that? Even if the recipe and yeast...

Yep, Wednesday just gone. Was going like the clappers on the Thursday evening but was completely dead on the Friday morning. Everything had settled on the bottom which I think suggests that it got too cold and everything dropped out. Normally there's some tapering of activity, but this was...
