This fermented quickly and just as quick - ended. After 3 days, nothing. Gravity? 1.018. This yeast has always been a wimp of a yeast. I will no longer use it again. I threw in some Notty, but nothing so far. I may shoot up some C02 to russle up the yeast to get something going. It does taste good though, not sweet. This tastes lame compared to my previous brew which used Chinook. The best about this beer is there is no cloying taste. I read that using a lot of Chinook hops gives you that. This has a good citrus taste which doesn't linger. Now to use a yeast that knows how to ferment beer. Mauribrew 514 sucks. Never again.
