6-days-incubation-starter

[DonArmando]

Hi guys,

i planned to brew a Hoegaarden clone this monday but i had some issues that forced me to move it on this saturday 18.
I made my starter on sunday 12, so it will be incubating until the weekend.
I was wondering if somethig bad could happen to the yeast.....
What do you think about this?

Stick it in the fridge. On brew day, take it out and let it come up to room temperature, decant the beer off the top, and pitch it.

 

[DonArmando]

Err....i made my starter in a 1 gal bottle...seems it won't fit the fridge.....
Hypotetically, what if i leave it at room temperature (23 C) for 6 days?

Doood, it's a 1 gallon jug.

Pitch the milk. SAVE THE YEAST!

If it doesn't fit, you aren't trying hard enough.

 

[DonArmando]

So if i keep the yeast out of fridge it will die?

Just a thought.

What happens to yeast in your beer in the fermentor, after a week, two weeks, three weeks?

Nothing.

You rack your beer off it right? You rack a new beer onto that yeast cake right? It ferments and tastes great right?

It is fine, it is 6 days.

I dont treat my starters any different than, well, beer... because that is what it is.

Thanks guys, i really appreciate your efforts!

BTW, just another thought: CPVC doesn't exist in Italy, it is possible to order it from the US???? I want to build a nice MLT system

 

[The Pol]

DO they have SS false bottoms? What will it cost to shop CPVC to ITALY?

Id get something local.

Do you have a source for copper tubing or even the stainless steel hot water supply lines? They make a fine separation medium for an MLT.

I'm with POL on the starter, it should be fine!

 

[DonArmando]

Mmmm.....i should try that copper tubings.......but i imagine they're quite expensive!
What about food-grade silicone tubing?


edit: i just talked to a laboratory near here which sells teflon tubings (they are very resiliant, food grade)
i believe i'll use these as medium in my MLT
