First time with liquid yeast

GOt some white labs liquid yeast. First shot w the liquid yeast. Its in the fridge now. And it seems to have separated from solids and liquids. Is this normal? If i shake it, it mixes again. I assume this is normal, but figured id check

 

LoL,

Shake it like it owes you money !!!

Let it come up to room temp for a few hours :rockin:

Make sure you make an appropriate sized starter before pitching.

 

Yes, yeast flocculates at low temperatures and when there is nothing left to ferment, this is why your beer becomes clear as fermentation finishes.

The yeast will not stay in suspension if there is nothing to ferment, or if the temperature is too low for the yeast type.

I ususally direct everyone who is new at using liquid cultures to Mr. Malty this is a very informative site, and will teach you all the basics you need to know about liquid yeast, and their proper use.

 

@schnitz. Thanks for the link. Good info. And yooper. Thanks for the heads up. Lol.

Good to go. Thanks guys

 

+1000 every now and again I forget to go slow and feel like a total dumass when yeast spews all over the place

YES! I could have used a little advanced warning, myself.

 

That happened to me earlier when I went to make my starter. Shook it so much and forgot to slowly open the cap. It didn't spew all over the place, but it did get all over my hands. All is good; the starter is humming along nicely.

 

I'm going to shout the every time when I'm a dumass with yeast

 

gold!!
