Hi all. I’ve never top cropped yeast before and wanted to get some advice.
I just brewed an Irish Red into which I pitched a lot of WLP001 slurry. Around 300ml I’d say. It went absolutely nuts and I saw a lot of activity in the airlock after 12 hours. It’s been 28 hours now, there’s no more activity and the krausen is starting to settle it seems. I attached a pic.
Does this look good to harvest and if so should I harvest it all? Is it way too early? I was going to use a ladle and scoop it out. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of dirty krausen either...
From what I read I should do this after 48 hours but surprisingly I think after 28 hours a lot of the fermentation has happened.
