Beer is fermenting (week 2.5 since I pitched the yeast) May have not oxygenated the wort enough but the OG was around 1.082. Shes heavy. Yeast is rolling like a champ no issues yet.

Great yeast fruity and slight tartness. I used it in the Galaxy Extra Pale and it is one of the best beer I have made. Definitely not as “clean” as Chico and the beer is a little hazy. So if you want a clean bright beer this is not the yeast for you. But if you want something slightly more fruity this is a great yeast.

This is a fantastic yeast that always performs. Currently using it to ferment my version of “Mosaic Promise”.

Opened pack 3 days after receiving delivery in a ice pac. all melted but still quite cool and well insulated. I made a starter and let grow for 3 days at 70 degrees. Added it to my wort at 69 degrees and was fermenting the next morning. Mostly done after 5 days I racked the dry hops and most of the yeast off the bottom of the 27 gallon conical fermenter and will keg in a few days. All pretty fast. Now I hope it tastes wonderful!

Love this yeast works in a ton of styles so good choice for a house strain. Blow off tube recommended this stuff likes to climb out of the fermenter. Easy to top crop

I do not know what caused the problem. I can't blame the yeast.

Used this in Ugly Fish IPA with and a full pack of Safale-05 (started with a high OG needed the extra cells). Best tasting brew I had ever produced. My friends thought I had something commercial on tap!

I haven't used this one before so I figured I would give it a try. I have been using 1056 for a while and I am not real happy with it. I have used a lot of different yeast and it always surprises me how much different the same recipe will turn out with different yeast. I can't wait to get this going.
Swelled quick, roughly 3 hours. love the slap packs

I love the activator packs, decreases the time until fermentation starts by a few hours or more. Nice attenuation, good floc for a clear beer.

Great for many American styles

Kind of slow to swell, give it 6-8 hours instead of the recommeded 3. Really clean and a steady worker - still going after two weeks and dry hopping.

Nice clean American profile but it does settle out better than 1056. Worked great in a American Pale!

How much do I need to order for a 3bbl system?
Hello Jeff - I would recommend at least 6 to direct pitch in a 3bbl batch this would also be dependent on OG Gravity. There is also the option of propagating your own yeast.
