Beer to Yeast
Posted: Tue Feb 02, 2010 10:09 pm
Nice little recipe to grow up yeast for stock or to pitch into a higher gravity beer. Cheap by the way we buy things, ~$12.00 per batch (6 gallon).
When growing up yeast, make a beer - Blond Ale, Pils, Cream Ale ... and have a beer when you are done.
Great for company that is just getting started or the other half that doesn't like an IPA 
This batch yielded just under 300 ml of slurry.
This was 1 package of Wyeast grown up in 2 quarts of starter wort. The beer was fermented at 60 oF
Style: German Pilsner (Pils)
Batch Size: 6.00 gal
Boil Volume: 7.00 gal
Boil Time: 90 min
11 lbs Pilsner (2 Row) Ger Best (2.0 SRM) Grain 100.00 %
2.00 oz Hallertauer [3.00 %] (60 min) Hops 22.4 IBU
1.00 oz Saaz [4.10 %] (15 min) Hops 4.1 IBU
1 Pkgs European Lager II - PC - SLANT (Wyeast Labs #2247 - 940) Yeast-Lager
Mash 150 oF for 75 minutes
~4.5 - 5 % ABV
