Yeast Recovery

Post by Ianb » Sat Dec 22, 2007 1:34 am

The "cheeky lager" I made a fortnight ago, and pitched a couple of packets of S-23 into has just about run it's course at 12.5c.

In anticipation of using and culturing more specialist yeasts, I thought I'd have a go at recycling this one.

But, to be honest, I haven't got a clue what to do!!!! :D

The lager was chilled to 15c in the boiler, and pitched with two packets of S-23 befroe dropping to 12.5c where it's been for two weeks. FG appears to be close, so this weekend it will be cornied and lagered for a month or two under pressure.

So what about the yeast? I'll be mashing again on the 29th, and I'd like to save and re-use the yeast from this brew.

How do I separate from the yeast from the CB trub??

Do I need to "wash" the yeast??

How to store for a week??

All answers welcomed
