Notes: Hi, all!

I brewed this recipe on January 28th and it has been steadily fermenting since then. I gave a quick sniff of the airlock and got a Sulphur-like aroma. This is not surprising since it is still fermenting, and also considering that it was derived from a Belgian. I did a little bit of digging online and found some forum discussions on this subject. User jnick from "homebrew talk" contacted the owner of Omega about this and received this "Sundew can definitely kick off a ton of sulfur during fermentation (its parent strain, Belgian A, does the same thing). Give it a little more time and that should condition out. Everything else sounds on point. Let me know if you have any other questions".

I normally leave my homebrews to ferment for about 2.5 - 3 weeks before cold crashing or transferring to secondary. So, in the meantime I will wait for this to finish fermenting. Expect an update by the end of next week.

Best Regards!

Update!

Fermentation has almost finished, and the sulphury smell is no longer apparent. I will be waiting a couple more days before racking into a secondary along with a fining agent. I plan on bottling this in about a week.

Best Regards!

Update!

Bottled about 2 weeks ago, I'm going to let the bottles condition for another week before transferring to the refrigerator. I opened a bottle to check the carbonation and give it a quick taste. The strawberry characteristic is very subtle, really all of the flavors are subtle. I didn't take an OG or FG recording, so I don't know exactly where issues would have arisen. I have since procured some instruments that will help with recording these variables, so all future recipes posted to brewer's friend will have better data. I'll provide a final update after conditioning is finished.

Best Regards,

Final Update!

Bottle conditioning has finished, and I pulled one out of the refrigerator last night to try. The first and most obvious thing I noticed was the very apparent Belgian-like character which is most likely due to the yeast strain being derived from a Belgian strain. Overall, the beer turned out okay, definitely not a cream ale (more like a strawberry Belgian ale). If I were to brew this again I would adjust the grain bill a little bit, use more strawberry puree, and a yeast like California ale from white labs. I definitely want to use Sundew for a different recipe in the future.

Best Regards,
-Dennis Gifford

Notes: Made a starter the NEW way. 4500ml of filtered water with 1# DME and it made a good amount of yeast. Totally foamed over though.

Had to take a quart or so of liquid out of the mash tun to fit all the grain! Rests as noted but also mashed out at 168 for 10 minutes

Sparged well. First Runnings were 1.080 final were 1.026. Preboil gravity 1.071. Used about 7g. sparge water this time.

Boiled 75 minutes w/ hop additions as shown, but also 1 ounce of Galaxy in the whirlpool with the others. Chilled the normal way to 71° and pitched immediately.

Dry hopped with 1 Cascade .5 Amarillo .5 Galaxy. I dryhopped all that at once for 4 days. Mark did half that mixture for 4 days each. His was much more dryhopped tasting!

Original gravity was around 1.078. Huge activity 12 hours later. Fermented out to about in around days - cold crashed for another and then kegged with dry hops. Purged w/CO2 and bubbled up once it was sealed to 30#.

Big flavor, nice caramel notes, good level of bitterness for size of beer, good hop flavor and aroma, especially in Mark's. Just a hint of higher alchohols, warming but not obtrusive. It's a win!

Paul is worrying a month after tapping that it is starting to go the way of the infected ESB...more soon...nah...too much worrying. Still drinking this 3 months after brewing and it's fine - all good!

And still after 5 months!! And now it is just nectar. Full stop. No infection, no degradation, just aged strong IPA - bright clear orange color. Brew this again! Maybe a tad less bitter for me, and with Mark's dry-hopping (2 stage) schedule.
