I'm going to try and use the yeast from the bottom of the keg in my next brew.
I wanted to re-make a fantastic Wheat Ale posted by thunderworm. I brewed 10 gallons of this a month ago. In that brew I used Wyeast Kölsch 2565.
The problem is that today the HBS did not have Wyeast Kölsch 2565, they only had in inventory White Labs WLP 029 Kölsch. So I decided to use that yeast instead.
But opportunity has knocked. My wife and I just polished off the first keg of the Wheat Ale, and down there at the bottom is Wyeast Kölsch 2565!!!
I brewed up some wort for a yeast starter, chilled it, and pitched it into the bottom of the keg, then poured that into a sanitized beaker. I might have to step it up one more time before Saturday.
I will use this yeast for one 5 gallon batch.
I will use the White labs 029 for the other 5 gallon batch.
Anyone see any issues with this plan?
