Long day. Brewed 3 batches, and have used 3 different yeasts. They are all 5.5 gallons, and they are all about the same OG.
#1 - A Columbus/Cascade PA. OG of 1.052.
Yeast used: Conan, harvested from Heady Topper
Amount pitched: 1.5L starter in to 68F wort.
#2 - A porter. This will eventually be aged with oak cubes, but for now we don't care about that. OG of 1.050.
Yeast used: WYeast Scottish Ale, #1728
Amount pitched: 1.5L starter in to 68F wort.
#3 - My house pale ale. Cascade goodness! OG of 1.054.
Yeast used: S-05
Amount pitched: One package, with a little bit of water to freshen 'er up, in to 68F wort.
YOUR CHALLENGE:
Predict which yeast will show signs of fermentation first, and which will appear to have stopped the fastest. Fermentation chamber is set to 68, with a +/- of 3F. Ready... GO!
