So, I just kegged up a batch of IPA for the aggy tailgate, and brewed a new batch of Robust Porter.
The guys at Austin Homebrew Supply insisted that I try a new product called BrewVint Yeast Fuel.
I was skeptical, but curious, since my main cause of failure in brewing is lag time, the time it takes for the yeast to kick in. Before active fermentation begins is the crucial window, this is when contaminants or wild yeast will get a jump on my yeast strains.
Well, I am flat out amazed.
I added the yeast fuel during the last 10 minutes of boil. I filled the primary Sunday night.
Came home Monday, and it was going gangbusters. Tuesday, it was even better. This morning...FRANKENBEER!!!!
The yeast had exploded out the breather in a robust, frothy tidal wave.
This stuff is allsome. My OG was 1060. I'm thinking final gravity will be 1015, 1020. Massive.
I'm thinking this yeast is going to eat all the wort then break out of the carboy and raid the freaking pantry.
Check it out.
