Hey guys,
So I've just started re-culturing coopers pale ale yeast from the bottle for the first time. Made a 750ml starter in a 1L mason jar.
All is going well and is fermenting along nicely.
I read most people start with a 1.5L starter in a big coke bottle so what I want to know is once this is finished fermenting, can I boil up another 75g/750ml wort, drain most of the spent beer off the top of my little yeast family, add fresh wort and give them another 5 day chew on the fresh wort to make a larger crew for pitching?
Also I'm making a few of these so when there done how do I keep them in the fridge?
Drain off wort? On chilled boiled sanitary water??
Like I said I'm new to this. I'm sure trial and error would have me figure it out but really want to get this coopers yeast in beer asap!
