CraigsALE Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 When you reculture the yeast, EG like from a few coopers bottles or from some Whitelabs Californian Ale yeast or what ever yeast. I put some clear liquid from the carboy in 750 ml sterilised bottle with some boiled wort I have cooled. I gets going and I add to it over 3 or so days and you get a nice head, under that clear beer liquid and on the bottom the yeast cake develops. Do I throw the whole lot in or just the top clear liquid bit? What is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 See Reactivating Coopers Comercial Yeast If you are removing liquid from a carboy it sounds to me like you want to creat a starter and unless you let the samples ferment out you really shouldn't get much of a yeast cake. With a starter you really want to step up (at about 1:10 ratio) just before the yeast start to ferment. The idea is to reproduce healthy yeast numbers to pitch. The link above is pretty easy to follow for reactivating comercial yeast. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
