Hello,
I used a big starter of Pacman on a Yoopers Fat Sam Amber...carbing up in a keg now.... seems like it will be an awesome brew.
This was my first liquid yeast experience and first with Pacman.
I siphoned off the beer out of Primary and poured a pint or so of distilled water on the cake, shook up the yeast cake expecting the slurry to be like a S-05 or Nottingham cake.
It was very thick and there was no way an auto siphon was going to work to wash this yeast and put it into some jars.
So I just turned the primary carboy upside down and poured some of the thick sludge into a funnel into 2 - 1/2 gallon jugs then poured a little more distilled water on top of the sludge.
It has now been in the fridge for a few days and looks like the below.
Problem is I can not tell if this is all yeast or mixed trub and yeast or what?
I have practiced cleaning yeast with some S-05 and this pacman does not have a clear yeast/trub line.
thoughts?
thanks for looking
Kevin
