Shamus O'Sean Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 1 hour ago, Otto Von Blotto said: Leave the beer on top of it until you use it next. +1 what Otto says. This is a 1L jar. About 250ml of yeast and 450ml of beer. I pitched it the weekend just gone. Straight out of the fridge when I was ready to pitch. Carefully tipped off 3/4's of the beer first. Swirled up the yeast and the remaining beer until it was a nice creamy consistency. Then pitched into my fermenter. Fine bubbles appeared on the surface in less than 6 hours. 1cm krausen within 24 hours. Still bubbling away nicely as I type. It was a month in the fridge so some of the yeasties will have died off. I might not get around to using it's brother beside it. Six weeks would be about the longest I have kept harvested yeast before re-using it.

MitchBastard Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 @Shamus O'Sean nice. What have you got bubbling away? May I ask how much, does one pitch when it’s time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Mitch - See link below: I added the whole contents of what you see in the jar in my previous post. It is about 200-250ml of compacted yeast slurry. It was about 4 weeks old. Google MrMalty yeast calculator to get a simple on-line calculator with a tab for yeast slurry calculations. Leaving some of the variables at their default, perhaps my 200ml or so was not that far off given that since I harvested the slurry, the viability would have dropped off.

Marty_G Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 1st time using US05 .... it is a bit of a beast of a yeast ... brew dropped 10 points yesterday, start day 2 to start day 3, from 1040 - 1030 at 21 degree with 0.3 variance ... that is right up there with largest change I have experienced in 24 hours ...

It is only the second Saison I have done. Brewing it at 23+/-0.5. The first one was at ambient (around 21) and came out as a mild Saison. This one should be funkier.
