Pezzza Posted November 23, 2022 Author Share Posted November 23, 2022 (edited) As young fella at a work Christmas party I popped a plum into an arrogant older work fella's cup of Baileys which later he found and was pretty unhappy about it all... matter of fact... he was quite out-of-plumb about it Edited November 23, 2022 by Pezzza 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Brewing Co Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Testing day for the 2 beers I kegged on Monday at midday, 30psi for 48 hours now down to 12psi, On the left a Coopers Draught, very drinkable, I could keep pouring this, it is nice. On the right is a Coopers Real Ale made with the yeast from a former batch - I am thinking I used far too much as it is very hazy but drinkable. Do any of you Yeast pundits have any views on the amount to actually use in a 23l batch, I think I used at least 600ml mixed with the fresh wort. I am thinking it will clear up in the keg after a couple of weeks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you go about it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised you never have; everyone is on about re-using yeast/dirty batches etc which I am not a fan of & will never do. I tried the re-used a few times but really, I couldn't be bothered doing it again. Fresh yeast is available & not very expensive, I simply just sanitised everything to death & took as much as I could from the bottom of the FV & put it in a flask, glad wrapped it & fridged it. I can't find the photo, but this is the flask I use. It can be tricky & messy, but I worked out a way with a long-handled spoon & a funnel, I dunno, maybe I will do it again . 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok yeah Its something I cant really be naffed with. I'd rather pitch a fresh packet or two. The Hoppster drops it off at my door so its not expensive. I'd rather not take the risk. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am definitely sharing your thoughts, but I thought I would try it, it does work, loved by many on here, but honestly when I poured the first tester with the Real Ale, I thought it was a failure, I have made it many times, so it was a shock to see it so cloudy which brings me to the conclusion, use fresh yeast every time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 2 days in the keg but it will improve. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitching onto a cake is a very good thing to do within a limited scope. Reusing yeast is also very valid. @Otto Von Blotto has a great starter method which work well. Coopers yeast is re used, if not we would not have Coopers. Nothing against your thoughts @Classic Brewing Co and I can understand it for sure. Interest rates are biting and yeast has gone up a fair bit too Edited November 23, 2022 by beach_life 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 Coopers Pale Ale I can't decide which is better, this batch or last! Both similar, this Flameout hops with PoR, The last Dry hoped with PoR. Will have a few more before I make up my mind. (Took so long to get organised to take the photo, the head died a bit but still lingered) 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
