I planned out a couple of brew to use up some of my older grains etc. and also had two recycled yeasts in the fridge which have been there a while.
So the plan was a Raspberry Wheat using a Wyeast 3944 (Belgian Witbier) starter and a Rye Beer using a Wyeast 1056 (American Ale) starter.
Both the yeast starters went off well considering they were so old.
So did the Wheat yesterday and all went well but I used the 1056 starter! Now I think this should be OK it is fairly neutral and the raspberry I add on Sunday should add flavour.
But now I am left with the Rye to make and a witbier yeast - is this going to work?
I was going to get a pack of S05 on Saturday if I can and use that instead (and just ditch the yeast starter).

Don't ditch the starter, you can use it on something else next month. Or go ahead and use it, a rye witbier might be pretty good.Chrissyr63 wrote:I planned out a couple of brew to use up some of my older grains etc. and also had two recycled yeasts in the fridge which have been there a while.

Re: Mixed up my yeast- doh!
yeah suppose I can just put it back in the fridge again and restart when I need.
Not sure on a witbier rye - don't have any more wheat left so it was just 50/50 pale rye and mo.
