davids47 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 What would happen if you got some Bottles of coopers and drank most of the beer left say quarter of a bottle and put that on top of your beer in FV to give it the yeast would that work or not I know you would have to drink the six pack but i am willing to try, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerlust Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hi david. What would happen if you got some Bottles of coopers and drank most of the beer left say quarter of a bottle and put that on top of your beer in FV to give it the yeast would that work or not You can reactivate the Coopers Commercial Ale Yeast from the bottles' date=' & use it to ferment your brews. PB2 has outlined the procedure for correctly doing that over in the FAQ section of the forum. Reactivating Coopers Commercial Ale Yeast I've used the procedure quite a number of times & it works a treat. If you want to get close to reproducing a Coopers ale beer, then being able to use their commercial ale yeast is a big part of that. Cheers, Anthony.

James Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I am going to bottle a Fruit Salad Ale today, can I mix my Coopers Real Ale in a separate bucket then pitch it straight onto the yeast cake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben 10 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Yes. Alternatively - and I did this with an Irish Red - when bottling is done simply swirl the fermenter and grab half a bottle or more of the slurry. Clean FV as usual, throw in next beer and pour in the slurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben 10 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I used a 740ml bottle - and filled it up. Went off like a rocket with no flavour from the previous brew. Apparently somewhere in the order of 250mL is enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clean FV as usual' date=' throw in next beer and pour in the slurry.[/quote'] I did precisely this with the Chocliqueur stout that I put down yesterday. I sanitised a protein shaker and scooped out about half of the slurry and pitched it in just before pitching my dry yeast. The ferment started very quickly and boy did that krausen grow!
