So I'm going to brew a Lager. I do a lot of Ale brewing. So for this lager I'm just going to leave it in the shed/garage with a blanket. As it's quite chilly outside and should be good for brewing a lager. Can't get a fridge due to lockdown Anyway I wanted to use some of my homegrown hops...

So I decided to brew a Banana Beer using my non commercial strain of Kveik Yeast. FY43 http://www.garshol.priv.no/download/farmhouse/kveik.html#kv43 The yeast ferments nicely and leaves fruity tones and enhances the malt, and finishes with a very slight dryness which is nice after the malt...

Glad its going like a rocket! Also remember when you do a starter, you can also dry the yeast out. Drain of liquid until left with a slurry. Pour this on baking paper and put in the oven at a temp under 30c for a few hours. Else just leave in airing cupboard or something The slurry will...

So I keep hearing from people that kegs are the way to go. I'm starting to see the advantages. However I have never done this before. I always bottle my beer, as I do brew in short batches normally around 12l. As I do BIAB small setup. I still have some beer kits to use though. Now I don't...

I trust those who have had samples they have all been viable?

This who have messaged me I will send samples out the start of this week. Taken fresh from my new starter in new medical vials [emoji106]

I have a brand new starter going and just awaiting shipment of new medical vials. I'm happy to ship some samples from a good healthy starter. Just pm me your address. Happy to send samples.

Yeast has been salvaged and I'm working on sorting the trub out etc. Also have a new starter going which I'm going to bulk up. If people want samples please let me know and I will try my best.

Well the starter has been ditched as I was unsure how long the fly was in there for and not risking it. I will wash the yeast from my CV and do a new starter. Just means a few days of work again. Yay.

Slight setback with the yeast starter. A blasted fly got into it. Even though the lid was ajar and a mass amount of foil over it. Next time I'm going to use a hop sock and foil! So I'm going to have to wash my yeast from the FV.

My beer has fermented out. That yeast really does get going. I'm going to sort it out over the weekend and see what I got and how it tastes. My yeast starter has given me a nice layer of yeast at the bottom of it. So will be also dealing with that as well. Going to collect samples. Updates as...

Yup I had planned on drying this out. Just need to build up a massive sample base to test with. Then confirm its viable after rehydration. As the type of yeast I have can be dried. I'm also planning on freezing some for long term storage.

Quick update, Finally got one of my yeast starters pitched and the thing went off like a rocket in 6 hours. Took a sample from my starter of just light DME. Was very fruity on the nose, very perfume like. On tasting it was a very nice fruity flavour. This should make a very interesting golden...

that sounds like a plan to me. Once I have this yeast starter going at full volume, I will happily send some vials out to those in the UK. So far it's very fast, i have a good deposit of yeast at the bottom!

That I'm unsure on, I'm in the process of growing the starter. It's a bit slow as they have been dormant for a little while. Hopefully can start farming these little awesome things, and if possible attempt to ship samples.

I was given this sample which I'm growing up as a starter as we speak FY 43: Opshaug Owner Harald Opshaug Collected by Lars Marius Garshol Place Strandadalen Pitch 23.5°C Attenuation 83 % Can be dried Y Harvest top Provenance: He got it from Oddmund Teigen, in the Stranda...

So I was provided some wonderful strange yeast. From Norway in a remote village. When I was at a homebrew competition in London where I live. I'm currently spawning a yeast starter and going to brew a beer with it. As well as dry some out and store some in a yeast bank I'm working on. I was...

I will try and make sure its kept warm, will give it a good stir. Started this on 7th.
