I intend to brew a hefe with CML Gretel next, at about 1.020 I will siphon off 4L onto 150ml of Raspberry lowicz in a demi-john and let both finish up.
I'm after a bit of advice on a few aspects..... I'd like to keep to the banana end of the scale with the yeast as its the first time ive used it, so want to have the majority ferment natural and a little 4L side experiment, but I've read such conflicting info on what temp to ferment it at, some say upper 20's pushing 30°c, others say they've had banana at low 20's. I'd appreciate hearing from any experience with this yeast.
Now another little head scratcher is I will also prime the 4L batch with lowicz into ½/1 litre bottles. What would lowicz be classed as on the priming scale?.... as there is a BIG difference between the various fermentables.
As you can see I've put the relevant values in for an example..... I'm thinking it could possibly be classed as corn syrup?
Your thoughts please.
