I whipped up a big starter the other day, and livened up some wyeast irish ale, brewed up on sunday, a leftover beer, consisting of 2x cans of grumpys pale low hopped extract, some steeped pale and wheat malt, some challenger at 10 mins, and 1 chilli..
then i only pitched about 1L of my starter, and wondered what to do about it..
So last night i used a leftover can of coopers canadian blonde, boiled up in a few litres of water 1kg of honey, (wanted to keep it light coloured) added a tiny amount (10gms) of challenger, boiled for a few minutes, skimmed, bunged that into the fermenter with the can of coopers and 350gms of dextrose, and hot-side aeration be damned slapped the laundry cold water tap on full and frothed the buggery out of it.. pitched the rest of my starter, and sat it next to my other fermenter.. (all up it took me 45 mins.. which was good, because i only had an hour.. and that allowed me time to sit and enjoy a beer)
what else have you guys got going at the moment?
