My Reply, I could use any of that stuff. Thank You,

My first yeast Harvest. I followed the guidelines from Palmer's "How to Brew" on how to properly yeast ranch. I decided to attempt to corral some yeast from a few bottles of Belgo that I enjoyed at least a few months back, let's say 3 months. During it's suspended state in my...

Final Starter was 1L in size. When I refreshed the dormant starter, it was easy to toss out the inactive liquid and leave the yeast slurry in the bottom. I then added the refreshed starter wort to the 1L Erlenmeyer with yeast slurry in the bottom. NOTE: I still have constant airlock activity...

As far as attenuation. I am currently closer to 62-65% when this yeast strain is more in the 73-77% range.

OK. The Full Story and Details. I made the starter with 2 packages of Wyeast, and refreshed it once. However, the starter sat dormant at room temperature for two weeks due to circumstances where I was unable to brew (home remodel). So, the starter hit a point of high krausen activity and...

Would it make sense to pitch the Pacman yeast at this point? Assuming earliest delivery I could get would be Thursday, day 18 of Fermentation?

I am now 15 days from pitching on a 1.085 OG Double IPA recipe. I used a starter with two packets of Wyeast 1056, but noticed a 24 hour lag before any airlock activity. For 14 days, the primary has been bubbling slow and steady with bubbling every other second, not vigorous, but not that weak...

Haven't tried it, but am working on it right now. I have some yeast that I have "corralled" from a few bottles and I plan to start a culture prior to brewing my clone. They do make it easy to come up with something that will likely be similar. My biggest concern is trying to get close to...
