Hi guys,
Used 1318 London III for the first time & being my first AG don't want any stuff ups...
Racked to secondary after 1 week & the yeast had formed a thick carpet over the surface - I'm asuming this is because it's a true top fermenting yeast? - I skimmed this off before transferring as I assume it's not wanted in the secondary? - I dry hopped with plugs (secondary) which I know float on the surface, will this cause a problem with the top fermenting yeast or should I have waited to CC before hopping?
If I wish to cultivate this yeast do I use what I've skimmed off the top (pic) or should I just stick with splitting the original starter?
Thanks guys...
