Coopers Yeast

[danbeer]

Howdy.

Does anyone know if Coopers use a different yeast for their priming/conditioning than for their fermenting?
I was thinking of adding some coppers sparkling ale yeast to my current project to help finish it off, since it's going very very slowly, and still has a baume of 1.3.

We have used the yeast from a coopers sparkling ale bottle for me coopers sparkling ale clone.

you will have to make it into a yeast starter and really build the yeast cell count up before pitching.

i have no ide what a baume of 1.3 or even a baume is.

Baume is a measure of potential alcohol.
It is measured af degrees Brix, then converted to Baume (at least with the instruments I have at my disposal). Brix/Baume are related to RS (residual sugars).

Given that I work in a winery, it's just easier to measure alc + Baume directly, hence the reference.
