      Very clean, crisp flavor characteristics. Low fruitiness and mild ester production. Slightly citrus like with cool (60-66F, 15-19C) fermentation temperatures. Versatile yeast, which produces many beer styles allowing malt and hop character to dominate the beer profile. Flocculation improves with dark malts in grain bill. Normally requires filtration for bright beers. DE or pad filtration recommended.
      
      Origin:
      Flocculation: Medium-Low
      Attenuation: 73-77%
      Temperature Range: 60-72F, 15-22C...

      I'd never even heard of this yeast until I read it above. Just had a look and it's more used in kit beers than all-grain. That being said, if you are looking for more the 'crispy' dry kolsch, then maybe it will work.
      
      Here's what a LHBS owner, MHB, had to say about it and he knows his stuff... Account for the vast majority of the yeast under the lids of Home Brew Kits made in Australia and New Zealand so all the Coopers, Morgan's, Brigalow, Black Rock, Wander Tooheys,...

   3. What's the Effect of Microwaves on Airborne Organisms?

      by LloydieP, 15 years ago in Cleaning and Sanitisation

      From a sanitation perspective, and without the effect actual heat, how much exposure to microwaves (domestic oven type) can airborne organisms (yeast/lacto types) handle?
      
      Cheers

      Thanks for the thread Lloydie and the link JVD.
      
      I have a lot of John Guest fittings such as can be seen here.
      
      I have never worked out a way of sterilising these fittings in a manner where I am truly sure they will be sterilised.
      
      Would the stainless steel collet pose a problem with me microwaving them or do modern microwave ovens no longer have this sparking metal problem?
      
      Thanks again,
      PP

   4. What books do you read apart from brewing ones?

      :geek: I saw elswhere, a topic asking what we did between beers/brews. I read. Lots. Sometimes I forget which book laying around is which. So I thought I'd start a topic on what books we read besides ones on brewing. :ugeek:

      Four books at once Cameron! That must make for some wild dreams.
      
      Let me know what Malinche was like if you can.

      Yup I followed your advice awhile back BB and solved most of my problems with a good day or two of aeration. I find a stick blender is the bomb!

      A Description of: Wyeast 1007 - German Ale Yeast
      
      True top cropping yeast, low ester formation, broad temperature range affects styles. Cold fermentation will produce lager characteristics including sulfur production. Fermentation at higher temperatures may produce some mild fruitiness. Generally, yeast remains significantly in suspension. Beers mature rapidly, even when cold fermentation is used. Low or no detectable diacetyl.

      Flocculation: low
      Attenuation: 73-77%

   8. Wyeast 1187 Ringwood Ale Yeast

      Ok I'm obsessed with this fickle little bugger..
      The beautiful malt profile it gives is worth the effort to continue banging one's head against the wall for.
      I've noticed alot of our American cousins logging on to BIABREWER, and from what I've heard on the grapevine, 1187 is a very popular yeast in the craft brewing industry in the US, despite its tendency to lower the hop aroma and flavour. It does certainly back the malt profile needed to back up a whopping hop schedule. I have, however, a...

      I love Ringwood but I'm not sure if the Wyeast version is the same as the one used by many American Micros. I believe the Wyeast strain came from Sweden or somewhere unlikely. Maybe I should email them to find out, they usually respond promptly to emails.
      The reason I tried it initially was because the yeast as used at the Ringwood brewery in Hampshire originally came from the defunct brewery at Hull, Yorkshire, and it makes a cracking Yorkshire Bitter as well as a dark mild getting me placings...
