Does not want to remove the backing paper so it will stick to one only and give him a more accurate reading. Although having said that, my strips on my FV's are usually out by about 1 to 2 C. Al is A1 Correcto!!! But it has never been moved ha ha ha.... but yeah - usually was only a bit out and now... seems to have lost its "trim" haha! Well spotted @Titan and analysed Boozer!

But was nice to have a good vigorous Yeasty Krausen fluffy top to show it was off and racing!

Yeah I would like to do that but even tho have got more rainwater in the tanks now still have to pretty careful with me water so try to avoid having to fill the whole FV up for a soak... Rubber gloves, and a sterile chux cloth and hot wash over plus a good few hot rinses seems to work ok. Plus don't really want to tip gallons of Perc down into my Septic which needs its microbes to stay healthy to work properly... and the SS FV washes very easily. But the Coopers FV is great for first phase of ferment as you can see what is going on. Need a 30L Pyrex Vessel with a ground-glass seal to the lid hey?!

Do you or anyone else think I could harvest some CCA Yeast from Coopers Stout? I know the endless blather re ABV and the science is good - yes - about Pale vs higher ABV stuff... But I find the Pale a bit thin and not worth the $$... but have got some of the good black stuff which is worth the money... if nil contam nor wild yeast infection... it should be possible or?

Otto Von Blotto Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 It'd probably work but the yeast wouldn't be in as healthy condition being in a higher ABV environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So any thoughts on anything 'extra' needing to be done to coax them back to life again : ) ... you know what I mean Kelsey - to give them a fighting chance? Also... do you think the Coopers Stout Yeast and Coopers Sparkling Yeast are different say from each other and the Pale Yeast - or all same CCA?

Otto Von Blotto Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) It's all the same yeast. If I was harvesting from stout bottles I'd probably just use more bottles, maybe twice as many. Better than not enough. Edited May 29, 2020 by Otto Von Blotto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Agree with Kelsey. Just use more as there will be more cell death in the high ABV beer and look for the closest best after date so its as fresh as possible. I usually use 3 sparkling ale tallies as its my favourite of all the coopers beers. Put the dregs in a sanitised jar over 2 or 3 nights then make a starter from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red devil 44 Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Dry hopped my Irish Red Ale with 20g East Kent Goldings Dry hopped Stone & Wood Clone with 100g Galaxy Both brews 6 days in @ 19 degrees, probably leave until next Friday then keg, won’t bother CC these as S & W is naturally cloudy anyway and last time the Irish Red Ale cleared up great after kegging and storing for a few weeks. No brewing this weekend as stocks are up, 6 kegs full in storage, 5 in keezer, 4 on tap and 1 gassed up and ready to go as my NZ Pilsner may blow this arvo. Good brewing and go the Sharkies today Anyway back to carpentry and rebuilding my laundry. Cheers RD44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done Red... and that brew with the 100g of LH Galaxy sounds like it will have some grunt! Great stuff and you should have enough brew to keep you going during the significant construction projects ha ha ; ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gut feeling is you would get away with stout if it was new stock Truly spoken Stavvly! But surely if these 'self proclaimed legends' can do it after 220 years... Burbler Brewing should be able to revitalise a twelve month old Coopers Stout CCA Yeast one would hope... though their lab may have better facilities than ours... Australian brewer James Squire claims to have created the world's oldest surviving beer, made with 220-year-old yeast derived from an intact beer bottle discovered at the bottom of a shipwreck. This old beer made new, The Wreck Preservation Ale, was officially launched in Sydney this month.Jun 19, 2018 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two of the bags are from CPB (the freight killed me but we gotta brew) and you are sooo lucky you can skip down to CPB and see what they have got!!!
