JRR Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I'm having a go at reactivating Coopers Commercial Ale Yeast. I decanted Three large bottles of Coopers Pale Ale into a jug. I kept roughly 2 cm of beer (with sediment) in each bottle and added the sugar and water mixture as is described on this website. I give the bottles a swish and shake twice a day. It's day three now and there really isn't any 'froth' in the bottles yet. The bottles are in a dark wardrobe at about 28C. I'm not sure if this is going to work? Perhaps I didn't keep enough yeast in the bottles in the first place? I'll wait and see for another couple of days. Any ideas? -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 tip it out and start again.... I would not be using yeast that has been cultured at those temps mate. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRR Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 No worries, I'll have another go. Do you reckon temperature above mid 20's is a bad idea? thanks for the reply, -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I wouldnt subject the yeast to any temperatures I was not going to brew at (arguably) so -20'c I will also depend on wether you want to pitch the whole lot or decant the medium and just pitch the yeast, I gave a fairly detailed explination a few days ago in another topic, will see if I can find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRR Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Thanks for all the information. I'll read up on it all and have another go. Keeping the yeast at 20C or so could be the hassle, but I reckon I'll figure something out. -J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
