i am on my third repitch of lallemand koln kolsch yeast cake and noticed my ispindel hasnt stopped dropping. the kolsch its at 1.22 for an abv of almost 7. yikes.
its the same recipe except i mashed at 150 instead of 154.
i am hoping its the ispindel but i tasted a swig this morning and it seems more bitter and feels like it has more alcohol so i think it may be diastaticus . that would make sense . if the diastaticus can eat more sugar and dry it out it would likely taste more bitter also i think. otherwise it tastes good . no off flavors at all.
am i in trouble ,
do i have to worry about this yeast or will regular cleaning and sanitizing take care of it.
i imagine i cant repitch this cake no more. damn .
any advice?
