Happy New Beer

[lukehgriffiths]

Well I mashed and brewed a pale ale...
Forgot to fit my hop filter so winded up chucking them in muslin squares... That made the tidy up easier.
I also had some bonus wort so question is can I use this to prime in two weeks? I doing it in a sterile demi-john (watered it down toward 1020 as I was thinking of using it as yeast breeding ground).
I would have posted some pics but photobucket has ceased to work from my mobile where said pics are taken so blame those guys!
Happy 2013.

Keep the spare wort sealed and put in in the fridge and it should be fine. you must have a big DJ. 23 lt?

Just a little spare in dj the beer proper is on an fv with done reclaimed yeast doing its thing. Just curious to know how much 1020 wort is needed to prime? I have about 3 litres of that also if keeping it in a dj is okay.

When I keep some It is only about 1 lt. Add that to the trub from your last fermentation and it will be fine. Although I don't brew beer that often to do that. So usually start with new yeast every time.

You misunderstand my question. I was going to use it for yeast (I have now used reclaimed yeast for my last two brews as it is great and way more cost effective). I then thought it may be used for priming sugars when I barrel in two weeks time... Presumed about 2 litres of 1020 wort would do but just wanted to clarify if I had missed some obvious reason not to do this.
