So this weekend I decided to try and cultivate some yeast from brewery Het Anker (Gouden Carolus) and since the only beer i could find that has bottle fermentation is the Hopsinjoor I bought two bottles of it.
It is 8% ABV. and 50 IBU so by no means an ideal beer for harvesting.
The other thing might be I made the starter much too big after reading some more about it.
I pitched the slurry from 2 bottles into a 300ml 1.030 starter which I know now is much too big for so little cells.
Does this have any chance at all of working, or am I better off just disposing it all and start over next weekend?
If there is a chance that this might work what is the best way of determining this? Sticking a hydrometer in it and see if it has dropped? So far there has been 0 visual activity.
Any and all opinions are very welcome, thanks in advance,
Remi
