Texas Ale Works
Well it looks like I will be back in the States the first week of AUG. I want to get my Christmas ale started and past the first few days of fermentation before then so here is what the next week or so looks like.
July 16 - Bottle current brew in primary
17 - Head to the LHBS and purchas stuff for Christmas Ale
20/21 - Brew Christmas Ale
It will then sit in the primary until the second week of Aug.
Now somewhere in there I need to make my starter for the Ale. I want to use the yeast from the bottom of a few belgium tripels. My question is this;
how many bottles should I use to get my yeast from ( I have 3 strained off now, and four more that I can drink and collect)
when should I start my starter?
This should turn out to be a 6.5% beer with a red/amber color. I will have more question in a few days after I try to put my mash sched. together.
