Hi all,
Last week, I cracked open a can of Lights On from tree house and enjoyed the hoppy goodness within.
As I got near the bottom, I decided to see if I could collect the yeast and grow it to sufficient quantity to use it at home.
Well, a week later and I am sitting on a number of mason jars with this yeast in my keezer.
Before I jump into using it, I was wondering if anyone in here had knowledge of what the temperature range for this yeast is and how to profile the fermentation temperatures. I did observe that is was active at a fairly low temperature, so my guess is first two days at about 58-60°F, free-rise to room temps (68°F) over two or three days and then D-rest at 70-72°F then finish out at 65-68°F, but that is just a guess. Anyone have any suggestions?
I am surprised with how slowly this stuff cold crashes - my Friday samples are only clear at the top 1/2". most yeasts are well on their way to dropping but this one seems to just stay in suspension.
