Florida Cracker Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 Anyone have any experience with this yeast? Just got some and was perplexed to see that the ideal fermentation temp is 68-77F. Seems awful cool for a Caribbean style rum ferment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florida Cracker Posted October 20 Author Share Posted October 20 As an update, I fermented with this yeast at 86-91F and it took longer than my typical Red Star yeast but the ABV is north of 11%. I have stripped it but nothing more yet. I'll report on how that goes. So far I have gotten some interesting aromas. FC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minnedistiller Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Please update with your results after distillation. I looked into this stuff a few months ago, but we ultimately went a different way. The fermentation temp is what turned me away from this product. I like to ferment my rum hot and your results might have made my decision more concrete. You can't beat the price though when compared to lallemand RM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
