So this Belgian series I’ve been doing, I was planning on harvesting the yeast for re-use from each batch. According to plan, I had the yeast sitting in an erlenmeyer flask in my fridge under a layer of beer, ready to be washed and pitched into a starter to rouse it to eat a beer.
I spent a couple of hours today washing the yeast through successive iterations and finally had it to a point where I could boil up a yeast starter and pitch it all, after sanitising my stirbar and dropping it in.
All I needed to do was sit it on my homemade stirplate and I was ready to go! Until I dropped it…
onto my carpet…
where it shattered…
shit. went. everywhere.
I guess I’m using a fresh pack of 3787 for my Tripel on Sunday!
