Coopers yeast?

Post by Chappie519 » Tue May 08, 2007 5:52 pm

Anyone know if the yeast in the bottom of the coopers "original pale ale" bottles can be re-used?

It is possible to re use yeast from bottled beers and is fairly easy to get them working again 8)
The question you need to ask is, is this the primary yeast used for fermentation, or is it a bottling yeast :?
Bottling yeasts are rarely suitable for primary fermentation :(
BTW I have a Coopers kit on the go at the moment and I am very impressed by the yeast head formed by the supplied dry yeast :D
