Guys,
I'm about to get into liquid yeasts but decided to test my propogation techniques on a Safale dried yeast first. Not to be a tight arse but I figured it was better stuffing up a $3 yeast then a $15.
Everything went well and I got 5 stubbies of yeast. Capped each stubbie and placed them into the beer fridge for later use.
When I went to reuse one the other day I stupidly shook it up before taking off the gap. End result was a gusher. Ok, lesson number one - don't shake up before uncapping.
Yesterday I uncapped a second bottle and same result - a gusher. Am I better off using 600ml PET bottles where the lid can be loosened slowly or would cooling the wort and yeast prior to bottling help?
Cheers.
