Whitelabs Belgian Golden Ale Yeast

Give it a good shake.

Problem solved just needed to warm up a bit more.

 

[Leon103]

No foil so cap on.

 

[Leon103]

I boiled 2 litres with the dme but u just decanted the cooled wort and there is only about 1.5l left should I top up?

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Not sure. I was a little under when I did mine and worked ok. Sure someone else will know more than me.

 

[Leon103]

I will hold off adding the yeast for now in hope someone else knows. I am sure 1.5l will be ok

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Mine was that and it worked a treat.

 

[Leon103]

Yeast in and cap in loosely

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Happy days.

 

[Leon103]

Thanks for your assistance

It'll be fine to pitch into the 1.5L. If you added 20g to 2L water it'll be 1.038 iirc. Doing some calcs the 0.5 boil off will make it 1.051. If you want, you could top up but me being super cautious I'd boil then cool the 500ml for 15 mins

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

No probs. Hope it goes well. Let me know how beer turns out.

 

[Leon103]

Just going through my brew process and realised when making a starter for my yeast I used 200g of dme instead of 20g is this going to have a major effect on my brew? It's fermenting away ok at the moment.

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

God knows. See what happens.

 

[Leon103]

Actually, am I getting confused? Should it be 200g with 2 litre of water?

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Have a look in that book.

Yes. For a 2L starter of (iirc) 1.038 you need 200g of DME

 

[Leon103]

Thanks thought I had it right but took a look at Graham wheelers book to read about reusing the yeast and it said for a yeast starter use 55g of dme. Perhaps I am too tired and can't read thiugh

 

[Bunglebrewsbeer]

Chill out and let it do its magic.
