Possible next brew

[clibit]

Bubble, I'll be bottling mine end of next week if you want some yeast. 1469 or 006. Too late?

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Nope. Not ordered any bits yet. Do you have any chocolate malt? Only need a bit. Saves me having another load of grain sitting about is all.

 

[clibit]

Only got pale chocolate atm. Welcome to some. It's nice, less roasty, smoother.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Decisions fevisions. Might have some 1469 off you did like that beer I made with that.

 

[clibit]

Can choose yeast when I bottle, I'll recommend one based on taste.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Sounds good to me. Fancy something that brings out maltiness if any do that.

 

[clibit]

They both should. I'll let you know when I've got the yeast ready.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Ok. I'll await your updates on your yeasty findings.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

All this recipe planning and beer talk is making my dry November seem like a lifetime.

Ordered this yeast for my next brew. English ale. Having read the packaging. This looks fresh. Was only made October. States just lob in to a 20l brew. And below an OG of 1070. My OG is well under that but was doing a 23l batch. Should I make a starter or just chuck it in ?

Hey I've got Wyeast 1469 and WLP006 for you. I bottled today.

Sorry, late to thread again! I've used S04 once. It was a while ago, but from memory I pitched it dry, it took off well and I got a good drop out of it. I'll have a poke around for the recipe and give more detail if I can.

Found it - a TT Landlord clone, 1050 down to 1012, tasted lovely.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Bugger. Wasn't sure when be ready. Which would you recommend?

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Was just looking at yeasts. And this one said really brings out a malty beer. Have you used it?

 

[clibit]

I haven't but I'd love to. Use it for this one, this yeast I saved will keep for other brews. Save me a bit of the 005, I'll make a starter, and we can do a swap.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

I was going to suggest that. I'll scoop out some at the end and try the 0006. Not used that one myself. Shall I just lob this in then or make a starter ?

 

[clibit]

I'm still learning about yeast but I think the best advice is to make a starter, as an insurance policy. I think a litre of water boiled with 100g DME. Cool and add yeast. Make it 24-48 hours before pitching.

The 006 seems very good.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

I'll make one. Ordered a jar thing to do so. Like a scientist with this brewing lark.

 

[clibit]

Yeah I just got a 500ml glass flask, should suit my small batches

Going to try make a few more ales with English hops. Do like the American hops. But want to try make some good English style ales too.
