Ah top googling there bud. I couldn't find anything on that.

It's meant to be a really tasty yeast. If la chouffe where it comes from is anything to go by it should be good. The sample tasted great. It may have even been 17 degrees I started at so I'm sure it's not temperature. I held it cool until after high Krause to help contain the beast. I've...

Hey peeps. I started a new batch of Belgium blonde a couple weeks back. It's basically 3kg pilsner malt 100g wheat 100g munich 350g sugar 25g hallertau at 60 mins. 5g saaz at 5 mins Used a new yeast WY yeast 3522 Belgian Ardennes and for the first time some wy yeast nutrient blend. All has...

Thanks Steve. I'll check that pitch rate calculator. I do have temp control and it had a standard fermentation starting out at 18 degrees and slowly climbing up to 22 for a week and then a little higher for another week once all activity seemed to die down. This batch did come out higher than...

Not sure why my phone wrote friend funny taste 😂 just meant to say funny taste.

Thanks for that Steve. It's was the calculator on captain home brew. WY Yeast recommend a pitch rate of 1.25 million cells per ml? Not sure I got the quantity right there but anyhow when I put that into my calculator it says I need 250 billion cells? Can you recommend another free pitch rate...

Cheers. My starter calculator doesn't seem to increase cell count much from 2 to 3 litres? Not sure if all calculators are different. I may go for the new recipe though as it'll have a slightly lower pitch rate and then I can definitely keep some back as well as harvesting yeast if needs be...

Hi peeps. I'm hopefully brewing this weekend as my new yeast is on the way and should arrive today I believe (Wyeast Belgian Ardennes). I was planning on brewing my standard Belgian Blonde recipe thats pretty much Jamils recipe. However, with only 100 billion cells in the pack maximum (I...

I think they are antibacterial but I'm new to this too so don't quite me on that. 😀

If that theory is correct it would have been heavily hopped for preservation of the beer for the amount of time it takes for transport so it wouldn't have mattered that the flavour of the hop dropped out. It preserved the beer. Modern ipas are meant to be drunk fresh whilst the hop flavours...

Did anyone try any of these Irish yeasts. Seems hard to get hold of white labs ones so thinking of giving some of these a go.

Yea that yeast sounds great for the summer. Want to get a clean flavoured yeast for trying some pale.ales. was going to get some wlp001 but maybe I should try a kveik?

Thanks guys. I'm just going to let it roll but need to consider moderation for future brews as it's only April and bound to get hotter in the summer.

Yea I assumed it was the yeast heating the cupboard up as the space around the cupboard felt cooler. Just wondered if I ought to be restraining such a rapid climb? Too late this time obviously.

Hi guys. Wondering if anyone has any thoughts/advice? Got round to brewing my 6th batch yesterday. I started brewing at Christmas and after my first batch built myself an insulated fermenting chamber in a big cupboard in our mobile home we live in while we're renovating our new but broken...

Good enough I reckon. Especially as everyone's water likely varies throughout the year so won't be exactly as reported anyhow. I don't think we need to be too anal with water additions as long as mash pH is good.

I could make a grain wort that is true I do have some spare malt. Thanks peeps good idea that. 👍 Still interested to know if anyone has a better idea on whether wort gravity effects the amount of yeast produced. My app seems to suggest it's volume that's the determining factor but it is just...

Hey guys. Just gone to work out how big a starter to make to get my correct pitch rate for a beer I was planning on making tomorrow and realized I don't have enough slurry in the fridge. Dog. So brew days off tomorrow but hey ho can do in a few days. Ive used the calculator on my my captain...

Mate thats awesome help thanks for that. That is really helpful. So an average teaspoon of flakes it around 3.7 grams. Thanks

Thanks guys I might have a go at making a solution in the future. I did think about crushing in a bag. My gut feeling is that when they are quoting a teaspoon they are meaning powder and not flakes but nothing to say for sure? I think I'll give it a go crushing unless anyone knows for sure...
