Trying a new yeast out. Bought an out of date vial from MO Malt Supply (1/2 price) of the following.
* WLP006 Bedford British
Ferments dry and flocculates very well. Produces a distinctive ester profile. Good choice for most English style ales including bitter, pale ale, porter, and brown ale.
Attenuation: 72-80%
Flocculation: High
Optimum Fermentation Temperature: 65-70°F
(18-21°C)
Alcohol Tolerance: Medium
I pitched it in a quart of 1.034 wort a couple days ago. Will pitch this in a half gallon of 1.034 wort today. The whole lot will then go to make a batch of porter, then I think I'll try to recreate the old ale on top of the resulting yeast cake. The fun never stops!
The Penrose Picobrewery This is a site where I keep my brewing info up to date, what's brewing, recipes, and my bragging section. Enjoy.
Good yeast choice to start the Old Ale, in my opinion! Don't forget to pick up the "secret bacterial ingredient"!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to taste that porter, either!
