De XL pakker man får ved maltbasaren kan IKKE nå at svulme op og blive aktive nok på 12 timer. jeg bryggede med en pakke for 3 uger siden og det det tog ca. 26 timer før de gæringen gik i gang. Den efterfølgende gang for 1 uge siden startede jeg den op 36 timer før (brugte gæren fra den første øl (der havde været på køl, men samme type) og den var i fuld gang på 4 timer!

This is not very orthodox, but one of the easiest methods is to take a liter of apple juice, drink a glass of it, and pour your yeast in. Pack in a plastic bag. When the bag starts to swell, let out some CO2. Keep everything absolutely clean. When using the starter, dunk it in iodophor. Cut a new hole in the side [1] (with a clean knife that has also been in that iodophor), and pour out from that. Apple juice has about the right amount of sugar (near 1.040), a good Ph, and a bit of other stuff a yeast will like. And it comes in a sterile package. You say you are going to brew on Saturday. If you use a dry yeast, make the starter the night before. If a smack pack, make it today. Even though a starter is best used when at high krausen, using it before or after that time works too. If too early, you don't get quite as many cells as you could, but still more than from the yeast pack. If later, some of them may have stopped multiplying, but again, you have a lot more to work with. Remember, it will be beer anyway! -H [1] The reason for the new hole is that when you poured some juice out, some of it may be left on the surface of the box, and there it may have captured some airborne bugs, which may have multiplied. Don't want them in the brew. -- Heikki Levanto heikki at indexdata dot dk "In Murphy We Turst" _______________________________________________ Brygforum mailing list [email protected] http://www.haandbryg.dk/mailman/listinfo/brygforum To get off the list, send a blank mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
