I brewed 2 batches last Sat. On of the Yoopper ale and the other was my normal Porter.
When I was buying the stuff I was just going to use the S-05 for both batches, but my LHBS didn't have S-05. So I figured I would just use Nottingham for the Yoop, and try S-04 for the porter.
My OG on the 2 beers was 1.058 for the Yoop, and 1.054 on the Porter. The Yoop is in my 6.5 gallon carboy and the the Porter in my 6.5 gallon bucket.
They both seemed to take off right away and when I went to check tonight it looked like the Porter hadn't really done anything. So I pulled out the stopper and sucked out a sample... It's at 1.012 now... Only 3 days after pitching and my fermentation chamber having a high temp of 71 during that time frame.
It tastes REALLY good too... Very much like Black Butte...
I'm not planning on sharing it until opening weekend of NFL season. I just hope it lasts that long!
