So ive decided to cultivate some Sierra Nevada pale ale yeast. I can easily purchase some wlp001 but it gets pretty lonely around here when all fermenters are full. I've never tried this before and my next brew is an IPA, so Sierra it is.
400ml starter at 1.02 with 2 bottles worth of dregs. 3 days on stir plate. Got a bit of yeast going. Stepped up to a 1 lire at 1.03. Just threw the whole 400ml in.
(Why is my pic sideways?)
Its a 5L Alladin jar by Mason. $10 from Kmart. It does have an island on the bottle so i cant rev the mag up to full speed. I use a magnet to centre the stir bar or else it doesnt start spinning.
Im going to put it in the fridge untill I need it and step up to a 3L starter.
I'll keep you posted on the results.
