Hey guys.
Well im about to do my 2nd brew, this is my 1st using Wyeast. Brewing a Hoegarrden knock off extract with some other grain BIAB style.
Anyways. iv read most of Bats thread and wanted to clear up a few things.
1. Im pretty sure that you are meant to store the Wyeast pack in the fridge as soon as it arrives.
so whats the recommended temp ? is a normal fridge around the correct temp ?
2. I think you can just pop the packet wait for it to swell (this can take a couple of days ), sanatise the pack cut it and pitch when ready ? should this be at fementation temps whilst rising ? say 20 ?
3. I take it that using the process in Bats write up on Starting wyest, his process is used to create allot of starters from 1 bag ? as they arnt cheap ?
Cheers guys.
