However, hydrometer readings indicated no change over the course of 3 days, so we called it “done” and started bottling. After an additional week, we were 3 points closer, but still too high to start bottling.Īfter five weeks, we were still 5 points above our target gravity. We simply put the lid back on the bucket, carefully roused the yeast back into suspension, and postponed bottling day. I was a bit surprised, but I wasn’t particularly concerned yet. However, after 3 weeks in primary, our hydrometer indicated that we were still 10 points above our target final gravity. The airlock was bubbling steadily in less than 12 hours. So after some modifications to the grain bill, we brewed what I think most homebrewers might accept as a Baltic Porter.įermentation started fast. However, I don’t have access to a proper lagering system. The original plan was to brew a Dopplebock. However, after a friend’s recommendation, I recently tried Safbrew S-33. I’ve been consistently happy with the results I get from Danstar Nottingham and Safale US-05 for quite a while. I know a lot of homebrewers think dry yeasts are inherently inferior to the various liquid offerings from Wyeast and White Labs. I’ve mentioned before that I’m a fan of dry yeasts.
