So, i want a heffe. ive come close. very close. but its still not right. from what i understand the 'heffewisen' flavor relies heavily on the yeast used. ive had these disillusions lately about finding a heffe yeast from a NON-GF source and making it GF
so my plan is to find a heffe-beer at the store that has been bottle conditioned (krausen in german) and inoculating a bottle of GF wort. growing it up. then doing it again, and again until it can be considered GF. then using that to make a GF heffe.
so i have 4x 250ml lab flasks, that im going to inoculate 1 at time. lets call the flasks A,B,C,&D. inoculate A from the store bought Heffe using 10mls, wait 3 days, then inoculate B from A with 5 mls, C from B, and D from C, then pitch D. ive become impatient and i would like it for the next batch. im going to do a quinoa IPA, and would like to do a quinoa heffe.
brew day is in 1-2 weeks, just toasted my malted quinoa so it needs some rest.
so can i just make a sugar solution with some yeast nutrient and call it good.
or should i just make a small beer batch, sorghum extract, hops, and all?
