re activating cake from the bottom of the tub

Recommended Posts

I have made a single brew with scraping 2-3 tablespoons of cake off the bottom of the tub from my last euro lager brew. its on day 9 of ferment and doesnt seem to be doing that bad. has a slight egg smell but has dropped from 1.048 to 1.016 over this period. How do you think it will end up? I have read that you dont scrape the cake but omly collect the liquid from about 1-2cm above the cake?

have a look through This Thread

and finally get used to working with Mr Malty

 

At least till you understand how much yeast you need. I still use it from time to time.

 

Essentially it's dependant on the OG and how many litres of wort you have to ferment will = the amount of cells you need.

 

There are a number of ways to calculate this and The link above is one of them.
