Holy fermentation (and a picture for Russki)

Stout Tanks. I would have prefered to buy American but the price difference was just too much. So far I really like it. Buckets warm up just as much as conicals do. I just never had a thermometer to see it before.

How did it taste? I've never used Nottingham if I thought my temps would get up to 70, because I've read that it became nasty at warmer temps. But that might be just people who wanted it to be like S-05 and ended up with English beer fruity yeast flavors and whined about it. I LIKE English beer flavors, so I'm curious to how it turns out.

I just sat and had a nice cold glass of the finished product tonight. There are absolutely no off flavors from that fermentation whatsoever. The hops are not coming through like I had hoped but other than that it is a nice beer.

Nice to know. I may give Notty a chance at temps I wouldn't have before.

I just got home from Old Chicago where I had a Becks Octoberfest and a Sam Adams Octoberfest. I poured another one of these wheat beers and this time I can taste a really nice balance of the hops. It is an extremely pleasant combination of floral and citrus. It must be from going straight from malt forward beers to this as opposed to just having one of these last night. I am still not detecting any off flavors from the hot fermentation. And quite frankly, I really like this beer.

This is one of my favorite things I saw in the Yazoo brewery... Happy, happy hefe...

Holy happy yeast! That's one heck of a blowoff setup, too! Wonder who's the lucky one to clean that up when the fermentation is done.
