Guys,
2 weeks ago I was planning to do two beers over two nights. My experimental batches are usually 10L instead of a full 20L.
I bought myself a sachet of SAFALE and did the following procedure.
MONDAY
Rehydrate yeast for 40Mins in Room Temp Water (about 300ml of water)
Add 1 Table spoon of Dextrose.
Divide mixture into two stubbies and airlock them
Bottles kept at room temp
Bubbling and foaming begin
TUESDAY
Used one bottle in a Porter I made up that night,
(OG 1.060)
WEDNESDAY
Used other bottle in an EPA
(OG 1.053)
Both of them have been fermenting fine, though after 7 days I expected them to be lower than they are (1.028 and 1.023)
Is there anything wrong with the way I've done this? I mean I could just use two packets of yeast but I figured that as I was doing two brews over two days, I may aswell try and propogate and save a little money?
Comments? Observations?
