Hi, I was thinking of using the yeast cake off of an currently fermenting Fuller's London Pride clone to come up with some sort of ESB/IPA using Citra hops only. I'm intrigued by Citra & want to try a single hop beer.
I've never racked right onto a yeast cake before. Do I need to do anything in particular? I plan to rack the London Pride to a keg during the mash/boil of this new recipe so would then transfer post-boil directly into the carboy.
Thoughts on the process/recipe? Kind of winged it....
Thanks! See recipe below:
9# Maris Otter
.75# Honey Malt
1# Biscuit Malt
.50 oz Citra pellets (60 min)
.50 oz Citra pellets (15 mins)
.50 oz Citra pellets (10 mins)
.50 oz Citra pellets (5 mins)
.50 oz Citra pellets (flame out)
2 oz Citra pellets (keg)
