I made a 1.020 starter and pitched the dregs from 2 bottles of JP which were about 8 months old. I used 200 mL of starter wort, the volume is 300 mL now with the bottle dregs.
This was a couple of weeks ago, and it has been sitting in a mason jar since. It smells good, pretty much like Oro. The yeast has grown and is settled on the bottom, I'm thinking it's time to step it up to 1 liter. I really have no plans for the yeast, but I know I should use it soon after stepping up.
Am I on the right track here, first time trying a sour? I will probably make a JP clone of some sort, what volume of yeast would be good? Primary strain or secondary?
Also, has anyone gotten yeast from Jackie O's sours? Thanks for any advice.
