Hi everyone, just wishing to get your thoughts on the use of wyeast 2001 Urquell. I pitched my yeast last night at 11.00pm (late night brewing). Temp has remained around 20 degree c overnight. It is now 9.00 pm (22 hrs after) and there is little activity in the air lock. It smell goods, there is very little bubble/foaming on top and there is large amount of white to cream colour trub on the bottom.
Brew Particulars
23.5 L Batch
OG 1.056
pilsner urquell Clone recipe (partial mash + Briess pilsen malt DME)
loads of Czech Saaz hops
Yeast was pitched on monday night (4 days ago) into a 1L starter (which also contained yeast nutrient). I placed this in the fridge all day yesterday to condense yeast and pulled it out last night to decanter and let come to room temp before pitching at 20 degrees (packet and wyeast website suggests 21-24). My intention was to see signs of life then get temp down to around 12-14 degrees
thoughts please !!!
I do have a dry packet of saflager S-23 handy, if need be
