Brewed my 6th batch this morning, Liquor Pig Pail Ale.

3.3 KG can Doric Canadian Beer Mix
1Kg Munton's Beer Enhancer
22L
1/2 cup "salvaged" Nottingham yeast cake sludge
OG was approx 1.042

Yeast was approximately 67* when pitched into 72* wort

First try using salvaged yeast. If no activity this time Friday I'm going to shake the bejesus out of my bucket and pitch a new pack of Cooper's Yeast (what I have on hand).

Should have a short lag time repitching the Notty.

I would have cooled your wort down a little lower though before pitching. Love Notty with low fermenation, it has very few esters.

Ambient where I'm brewing is in the 64* range, I can take it downstairs if the brew stays too warm, keep it in the upper 50's ambient this time of year.

Thanks for the input man!

Hard core Krausen at about 8 hours in. Popped off the lid on my fermenter,as it was getting a little bent outta shape. Made a better seal than I realized. Guess my Salvaged Notty worked!

14 days tomorrow I think. Just took a sample, was ay 1.011. Tasted like pretty decent light beer, as expected. Plan to bottle a week from tomorrow.
