Couple of questions for you @foxbat , just curious:
With your starters you overbuild it when you open the pack, right? But then do you split that into 4 or so, and so this latest stage is just reinvigorating a portion of that stored yeast? Or are you continuously harvesting and re-pitching, harvesting and re-pitching?
And how do you find Galaxy? I recall you also used it in a lager a while back. I've read it can be quite harsh. I've only used it once, in a hazy, and that was certainly quite bitter initially, though I can't say conclusively it was the Galaxy. I've still got a load left (leaf, not pellets, about half a pack though I think) and can't figure out how best to use them. Any suggestions how to get the most out of it?
Cheers
