I had a good weekend in Bar Harbor, and have the fortune to sample 4 incredible beers over the weekend. I’ve included links to BeerAdvocate below for information. They were all well worth seeking out.
Sinebrychoff Porter – Oy Sinebrychoff Ab
India Pale Ale – Meantime Brewing Company Limited
Just a quick shot of fermentation, about 24 hours after pitching the yeast. This yeast (Wyeast 1318-London Ale III) was donated by Black Bear Microbrew, a local brewery here in Orono, and is my first batch using his yeast. The quantity and vitality were great. Thanks again Tim!
Update: 52 hours after pitching, the Krausen head is begining to drop. I’ll post when fermentation is complete, and a F.G. can be taken.
2nd update: 96 hours after pitching, and yeast is still going! Down to a fine head of foam, but it hasn’t begun to clear yet…. amazing!
Just pitched the yeast into this new batch. Can’t wait to see how it comes out. Recipe from scratch.
