O.k I know that the liquid yeast is a purer product and I do try to use it whe I can afford to.
I brew a lot of beer so until I got my conical it was a lot harder to reuse my yeast .
My last 3 batches I used dry yeast.
I have a batch of Ed Worts House pale ale brewing and I also have a Honey Blond And a October fest but not a true October fest because I used ale yeast. (I'm not sure what the style would be now)
Anyways Every time I use Dry Yeast I get the most intense fermentations. When I use liquid even after making a 2 lire starter I never get fermentations like this.
On Both M<y honey Blond and My Octoberfest it blew the top off of my fermenter.
I knew this would happen and used a piece of an ait lock with a hose on the end into a bucket of water.
This was not even enough. When I came home today I noticed that it had been overflowing from the lid like a volcano and I had a nice pool of beer on the ground. Good thing I have laminate flooring. I lots about 1 pound of crystal 15 that was laying beside my fermenter on the floor. I guess there was holes in the bag and the beer found it's way in and got some of it wet.
Anyways I used Cooper 15 gram packet. Its at about 68 temp of the room.
Same as I always do for ales but I never get this type of fermentation using Wyeast of whitelabs for that matter. I really need to get some bigger fermenters so I have more head space.
