Has anybody got any experience of this yeast? M66 Hophead Ale Yeast
3 Days ago I started some in a Ginger & Citra ale at 1.070, the following morning I had a thin layer of CO2 bubbles on the surface with some noisy fizz going on. No krausen as yet, but so far so good I thought.
Yesterday the bubbling had slowed right down and there was no krausen whatsoever, so I started to suspect an infection.
This morning it appeared pretty dead so I took I gravity reading and discovered its already at 1.010.
Considering how strong the wort was I'm surprised how it's finished in as little as 60 hours, although I will leave it for a few more days just in case it's still doing its thing.
Obviously I can't comment on the final result as yet, but the resulting beer looks clear and the sample tube tasted lovely.
