Otto Von Blotto Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Slightly OT (but who cares, right?[lol]) I just put down an English ale yesterday. I made up a 1.75L starter (stir plate) with Nottingham yeast, which was chilled and then decanted before pitching into the wort, the thing has climbed up to the lid which is probably about 4-5 inches above the level of the wort. Is that normal for Nottingham? I'm not worried about it, I'm just curious as it's my first time using this yeast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilboBaggins Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Day 1 of my 2nd Belgian attempt. I'm prepared for the blow off this time. I've just realised that I have, in essence, a big airlock. Feels weird. This time I can actually SEE the yeast whirling round and round inside the FV, like a feeding frenzy. [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Wicket Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Is that the Kreuzen I see a couple of inches on top of the wort already? Will be interesting to see what happens in the next couple of days, keep the pictures coming Phil. Is this the same recipe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one's for Dad, as he quite liked the La Trappe Blond beers that I had with him recently, but doesn't want to end up with 23 litres of 6.5% beer around. I know, right? Anyway, this one is only 1.047 instead of 1.062, so maybe it won't explode? Not taking my chances with this yeast though. [pinched] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticky Wicket Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Was that the twice washed US-05, have had similar problems with washed US-05. Its like the Incredible Hulk. Not a bad thing just a maniac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 Nah mate, it's Wyeast 3787 - Trappist High Gravity. I've never had 05 do anything like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilboBaggins Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Well, it looks like I may be off the hook for now, but the krausen is above the FV handles and approaching the 29 litre mark. [pinched] Maybe the lower gravity of this brew will be my salvation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
