Ok, so I'm 7 beers into my home brewing hobby, and I'm getting better. I've begun making my own recipes and so far, so good. My goal is to make a quick batch that will be ready by S Patricks Day. I had a bottle of Damnation a few weeks back and decided to try and cultivate the yeast. I made a small starter and mixed it with the bottom of the bottle. It took off like a normal starter, just smaller. When it finished, I stuck it in the fridge for a week. I then made another small starter batch, poured the top of the previous batch out and added the new starter wort. And it went off again. I'm not sure I have enough yeast yet to fully ferment a 5G batch though. I plan on brewing in the morning and will make another small starter tonight to use tomorrow. I figure if its not fermenting within a couple of days, I can just run out and grab a vial of WLP500.
Anyway, it'll be an extract brew with specialty grains.
1# Vienna Malt
.5# Caramunich
.5# Specialy Aromatic
6# Pale LME
.5 Clear Belgian Candi Sugar
Paradise Seeds
I'll use the late extract addition method and I plan on using nothing but Nelson hops. Not sure if it'll totally fit into the BPA style, but I think I should get something drinkable!
Thoughts, comments, concerns?
