I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but I think that the bottling strain for Sierra Nevada is different to the primary ferment strain.
Might want to check it out before loading it into a fermenter.
Used it a year or two back, great yeast. Used a fairly old pack .... starter almost jumped out of the vessel.
Was used in a clone of Trois Monts. Fermented it at 23 and let rise to 25 after high krausen. Lagered for 4 weeks after.
I fear for the viability of them after sitting in primary for about 14 weeks (plus another 5 lagering) , and then if I polyclar and gelatine ... not sure what will be left.
Questions about adding yeast fro bottle conditioning/carbonation.
The brew had a OG of 1.101 and finished up at 1.018 which was in the ballpark of what I expected (using WY1762 and adding simple sugars and belgian candi syrup through primary), however had a problem with a small tear in my BIAB...

Anyone has any experience reusing these ?
I though perhaps using the following from craftbrewer http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=3570 and http://www.craftbrewer.com.au/shop/details.asp?PID=3571 but I think they have been out of stock for an age now.
I wouldnt think there...
Thanks for that lads, I will hopefully get the starter up and running this afternoon unfortunately I only have a 1L starter vessel so will need to step it up a few more times especially as I have no stir plate.
I will chill down to pitching temp and leave the fermenting fridge at that temp...
Having a look a both Beersmith and the Mr Malty website it is indication that the packet of Wyeast 3725-PC that I have on the way from Craftbrewer will be in no have enough viable yeast (manufacture date of May 2012) for 10L of 1073 SG wort.
In fact it seems that even if I make a starter...
