Just a quick one,
I am going to do the Chimay or Duval AG from the "BREW CLASSIC EUROPEAN BEERS AT HOME" book, and i want to use the yeast from a bottle. Firstly is the yeast from one small bottle enough? And if make up a little wort say about 1040 with some LME, i was told that if i stick in a cap full of "Sanitise" after the wort has cooled and left overnight that the chemical reaction would help oxygenate the wort. Then warm up to 27 deg C and tip in the dregs from the Chimay. Does this sound right?
Also should i do it a couple of times to build it up or is once enough?
Also was told that it could take up to a week before i see any action from the yeast.
Would love to hear some thoughts from all u fellas who have done this before.
