I brewed my Weizen Doppelbock a few weeks agao and pitched 400mls of 3068 yeast slurry I had in the fridge for the past 6 months. I got it going in a 2 litre flask first then pitched it all into the 1.090 wort and fermented at 17 deg C.
To my amazment when it had finished and after I crash chilled it there was over 6 litres of yeast slurry on the bottom of the fermenter, way way over the top of the tap. It was a shame to tip it all down the drain but I suspect it was all shot to the shite house after chewing threw that lot.
Anyway this bad boy tastes great and is sitting in a keg under a little c02 conditioning until July when I will crack it for the Tour De France viewing.
