Sorry didnt happen for several reasons

 

[stevej]

Had a sample of my latest brew the T58 one, its looking very clear lovely and dark, smells amazing tastes really good so far lovely caramel notes and the hop combo is awesome, for a brew that started as a sham its turning out very well, would have loved to have said it was intentional:lol:

 

[stevej]

Just checked mine. A good two inch of Krausen. Bubbling like a trooper. The race is on lol.

What was your start OG?

Mine was 1.068

Hows your beer doing ?

 

[stevej]

!0.000 just a quick thankyou to all the forum members for reading my thread, thanks so much guys n girls for following :

 

[brumbrew]

I'm going to rack into secondary today. So will post current readings this afternoon. It seems to have slowed down though after quite a vigarous start.

Fingers crossed.

 

[brumbrew]

Just moved it into secondary. Very little loss as the yeast had formed quite a solid cake, plus the very fine matter that made it through the bag.

Yeast was the MJ M03 so....

Starting at 1.068 it is now at 1.02

So 6.3% so far attention at around 69% so let's hope for a few more points before kegging.

Pretty happy with it. Tastes great but a few esters of alchohol / acetone are there in the background. But by no means not undrinkable or infected (I hope)

So first BIAB dark beer for me with an experimental 'risky' yeast.

But of age and I'm sure it will be wonderful.

Used T58 a few times. according to fermentis its high alcohol tolarance and high fruitiness. medium attenuation , flocculation & spices

rehydrated for a 1071 og beer now at 1014. at 21 deg c its taken 21 days to get to 1014. still getting a bubble every 15 secs

it's slower fermenting than safale abbeye :evil: which is mental and should always be used with a blow off tube and piles of headspace.

note: think abbaye has been renamed be-256, the specs look the same.

My T58 brew went like the clappers Dad, going to bottle during the week had a couple samples think its going to be a real nice ale, bought a few packs of it as it was in a sale at THBC all in all impressed so far
