it worked well, didn't spew foam
That's actually the opposite of what I'm seeing. I've finally put down a mcrum wash with this yeast and while the other rum washes I've done were vigorous this one is insane. It's lucky I have insomnia because if I didn't check it every couple of hours after pitching the yeast I would have a huge mess on my hands :shock:
As of approximately 10 hours later I still have to stir the foam back down every hour or so or it will overflow. I gave up on the lid with air lock when I screwed it down this morning and all of the water was blown out in about 5 minutes and the foam was touching the bottom of the lid!
I gave it the same amount of headroom as I did for the washes done with bakers yeast in the 30l fermenters I use but this one obviously needs more.
As for smell, it is the usual licorice and vanilla awesomeness it usually is, maybe a little fruitier and with no hint of its "turbo" heritage.
Looking forward to running this one.
