11 February 2009 - I am planning on brewing an Australian pale ale this weekend, so thought I would try and reculture a yeast from the Cooper pale ale bottle. Fairly simple really, just did the following…
- drank 2 stubbies of Coopers pale ale (yum, this was the best bit:-)) leaving the yeast and about 1/4 bottle in the bottom. Poured into glass as well so not to risk any germs on the bottle.
- made up a wort on the stove with 60g LDME and 600ml of water. Boiled for a few minutes then cooled in a water bath
- cleaned and sanatized a 1L flask then added the cooled wort. swirled the two stubbies and poured this in as well.
- covered the flask with glad wrap and a rubber band
- Chucked in the fermenter fridge @ 20deg C and we’ll see how she goes!
