T-58 love

[Pennine]

On recommendation from @Nothern_Brewer, I am sampling a vanilla imperial stout I made with T-58 and chinook which turned out amazing. I can't wait to try out T-58 in some other styles but I am very happy with it so far.

How much attenuation did you get? Are you able to distinguish the flavors in the beer between these from the yeast and the recipe?

Do you have the recipe to share? I've found T-58 to be a strong flavoured yeast and goes well in Belgian styles, but never thought to put it in an imp vanilla stout.

The vanilla is pretty mild, I used 30ml of extract in 14l of beer. Attenuation1.100 to 1.025. It's a bit sweet but delicious. I need to do a proper tasting and will update.

Sure I used my robobrew and did a small water addition, I mashed in with 15l and sparged with 5l of water to get the gravity high.

5.00 kg of hook head pale malt
.56 kg caramunich 1
.50kg Carafa1
.50kg Oat malt
.20kg chocolate rye

Thanks for sharing. I've made a vanilla stout a couple of times, both times it came out well. I cut up a couple of vanilla pods I got from Waitrose, the flavour was very front and centre.
