OK today I took a small sample of wort and dregs of one bottle and put on my hobo stir plate.
Here's what I did:
1) I started by pressure cooking my milk bottle, stir-bar and my stainless funnel. When done I removed the bottle and let it cool. Leaving the funnel in the pressure cooker and put the lid back on.
2) Then added 2-3 ounces of wort. It was running for a few minutes with just the 1.040 wort. It ran without any foam buildup.
3) I had about a teaspoon of dregs in the bottle. Using the funnel and tongs, I added an ounce of distilled water stirred it a bit, then, put the funnel on the milk bottle, and then I poured in the dregs into the stir plate milk bottle..
Within minutes the contents of the stir plate started to foam up. See photo.
I don't plan to use this since I'm not brewing until January and the bottle was open and unprotected for several days. If this is any indication that using the dregs will work, this is starting to look good.
