I pitched one pack into a 5-gallon batch of OG=1.072, and it fermented to FG=1.012 within 1 week.A blow-off tube and growler were required to keep this one under control. Very active fermentation after 18 hours.The beer is in conditioning now, but the un-carbonated beer is quite good. Dry, flavorful, and great mouthfeel like a good Wee Heavy should have. Very happy with this yeast!Was this review helpful? Yes (0) No (0) Flag as Inappropriate April 11, 2017Scott S Purchased 1 year agoWas this review helpful?

Making the Bourbon Barrel Porter extract kit this weekend but new to brewing. John M on Apr 3, 2018 BEST ANSWER: Hey John, I made that exact kit with this yeast. What i did was used an old 1 gallon carboy (from the starter kit) and used some malt that is provided with the kit. Let the yeast sit for almost a day to get good and active, then pitch with the wort (half measure roughly) then allow that to sit for a day or two and pitch in with the wort from the main batch. Turned out great! *note* allow a little longer to condition, makes it much more enjoyable. Happy Brewing!

Reply Inaccurate jack S on Apr 3, 2018 Purchased on Apr 19, 2017 0 What I do is when it’s shipped I store it in the fridge then brew day I put it on the counter. Let it warm up to room temp so by the time you are ready to pitch just pitch straight into the wart. That’s how used it. Reply Inaccurate Andrew D on Apr 3, 2018 Purchased on Feb 2, 2017 0 I used a can of FastPitch and that worked well. Can definitely recommend using s starter! Reply Inaccurate John M on Apr 4, 2018 Purchased on Dec 30, 2016 0 Use a starter or two packages of yeast.

I pitched the yeast in my bourbon porter yesterday at 4:30pm. It is now 9:30am and I dont see a hint of activity! This is my first time using Omega and I'm getting the feeling I wasted a lot of time and money... A shopper on Sep 4, 2017 BEST ANSWER: I had that same batch, are you using a yeast starter? I used a starter and half a day later I had vigorous activity. I'd give the two days before getting worried. Also did you make sure the temperatures were in range? I hope this helps Reply Inaccurate jack S on Sep 8, 2017 Purchased on Feb 3, 2017 Hide answers Add Answer Answer I Have This Question Too (0) 0 BEST ANSWER: I had that same batch, are you using a yeast starter?

I hope this helps Reply Inaccurate jack S on Sep 8, 2017 Purchased on Feb 3, 2017 0 My experience with new Omega yeast was very positive. My fermentation started up within 8-10h of pitching and was extremely vigorous. The primary fermentation was completed witihin 2-3 days and yielded a truely excellent beer. Reply Inaccurate malcolm p on Sep 10, 2017 Purchased on Jan 26, 2017 0 I usually pitch my yeast and let that sit 24 hours,but you should see some sign of fermentation at 24-30 hours.I have used alot of Omega it has really never let me down.
