That's not what I did...FlourPower wrote:Splitting the first runnings isn't a partigyle.
...I split the runnings to make two seperate worts. I could have mixed the two worts to achieve different starting gravities, but I don't have a refractometer and can't be faffed with cooling a sample and using a hydrometer. I don't believe it's the mixing that qualifies it as partigyle, just the splitting.FlourPower wrote:Usually you split the runnings, make two seperate worts and mix them together in different quantities for final fermentation.
I'm taking one along to the Cambridge JBK Meet next week, so there will be some other palates giving it a go then. I'll try and get them to report back.pdtnc wrote:WLP023 does seem to stay in suspension for a long time, let me know when you are tasting this eventually, I'd be interested if you think it has a bitter edge that comes from the yeast.
I did a Black Sheep Ale with WLP023 & US-05, the WLP023 seems to have a little roughness in the finish, though it did clear once in bottles, packing down well enough to the bottom.
