guest1525228310 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 The winning dregs will be pitched into a bigger batch of the same English bitter which is fermenting here... Using what criteria will you decide which yeast is the winner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Simple, whichever one tastes better will be the winner. It will most likely be the Fuller's as it's more suited to the style. Don't worry though, I have something good planned for the Coopers dregs...[bandit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PB2 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Keep in mind that each ferment (generation) moves further away from the original yeast strain. Every brew is exposed to wild yeast and bacteria whilst adding some of its own progeny (mutants).[alien] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yep that's a good point. Following that logic it's probably a good idea to keep a few bottles in a cold place from the second generation of any commercial product you reculture then. It's surprising how rewarding it is to reculture a commercial yeast. [biggrin] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
