Stu, I'm fluent in English & can hold my own in a French conversation. I also have a smattering of German, Gaelic, Arabic, Hebrew, Bahasa, Latin & Pidgin.

I can order a beer in several different languages....

I'm thankful for folks like you who can do the numbers, 'cos my eyes just glaze-over when it comes to figures.

No wukkas, dude. [emoji1] It was definitely not meant to be a brain measuring exercise. I just did the numbers for my own sake, then thought wtf I'll chuck it into the thread in case anyone else is interested.
Probably more comfort for me to do the numbers as I don't quite have the level of experience that you and MJ do [emoji6]

I didn't get any of this but if I did I'd probably pitch a lager, English, US, Cooper's kit and Belgian yeast in the spirit of the brew.

All in one starter?

You guys lost me at fornicating with thumbs...

Don't forget to rehydrate 2/3 of the yeast and use a drop of olive oil.

And don't forget the H2O2!

Hydrogen peroxide FTW!

You are even down on the list Curly

Also, over the last hour the yeast seems to have knocked off ~6 points already, while at 16°C. Crazy!
Cam, wtf yeast have you given me?!

She's a great performer! Are you pitching cakes or top cropping?

 

[technobabble66]

Cakes, baby!
Yeast cakes, FTW!! [emoji1]

Don't fear the top crop either, the healthiest most active yeast roaring to go. Top cropped yeast is almost unchanged and according to most texts can be used over and over and over, go method to use when you get the yeast to where you like it.

just did a gravity reading on the mofox stout = 1.014

I put it on a golden strong yeast cake which was a blend of two belgians, one being a trappist and the other a belgian saison, I took it up to 26dC after a week or so for a few days.

The flavour is nice it has a definite Belgian character that drops away as the roast comes along. Could be interesting.

 

[laxation]

When you guys use the yeast cake, do you do anything to it, or just chuck the new wort right on top?

Serenade it? Deep HDPE massage around the base of the FV?...

Or just chuck the new wort right on top. Works too.

One thing to note is that using the whole cake is a *lot* of yeast. Useful for stepping up to a much bigger OG, vol, or both, but going to the same OG & vol as the first batch is a massive over-pitch. Usually a cup or two of the slurry will do for a re-pitch into similar wort & vol.
