Hi,
wanting to make a Delirium Tremens clone from a recipe on Northern Brewer. The recommendation is to harvest from a bottle of DT and then step up to pitching volumes. I was hoping to 'bank' the yeast once I've successfully stepped it up.
Any recommendations on when to pull some for banking, and what to expect from the yeast in terms of fermentation? should i expect a similar action to other yeasts? (I'm new to brewing - so I know different yeasts ferment differently, just not sure how to gauge what 'signs' would be of healthy fermentation for this yeast).
Has anyone done this (harvested or specifically from a DT before?) and have any tips to share?
Thanks!
