Am going to make same brew as got on at moment, how do I re-use yeast cake? How much to add? How to store? Cheers

Hello I have turned my fridge up but best I can get is 6c' , am using Bavarian lager yeast 2206. Recommended 8-14 (46-58), if I make a started will this still work at this temp??

Ones anyone have a good site to design labels?

Day I am making a 5lt yeast starter and will add 500gm of dme, do I take that out of my recipe or still add same as recipe says? Thanks

500gms dme to 5lts. Found it thanks again all.

Thanks heaps for all the info would of stuffed it up for sure. One last question, how much dme would I add to a 5lt starter? And do I add yeast nutrient?

So once I have made starter in 2 days discard water and only use yeast sitting on bottom? Is that right?

So make a starter with 5lt you think?

Anyone?

Hi all, I am making a pilsner style beer and are going to ferment in fridge at 8-10c(46-50). I am using 2206 Bavarian yeast smack pack, can I pitch this a low temp or should I pitch a little higher and then drop temp? Or starter? And is 1 pack enough for this style of brewing sg 1.062 cheers.

Hello I have a lager on the go at moment and started at low temp but nothing was happening so put temp up to around 18'c, when it started to bubble I have put back down to 12'c. Someone told me to do a d rest so I have slowly increased temp back to 18 over last 3 days and about to keg. Does...

Does 0'c sound to cold?

Cheers will give that a go

I about to keg my budvar lager I have been told to keep it at 0'c for 4 weeks. Can I force carbonate it at same time or should I wait till the 4 weeks are up?
