I haven't posted in a while and I haven't brewed since August I have had a rotator cuff issue and was afraid to brew. I have a lot of old ingredients and so I'm going to do a trash brew and clean them out. So this is what I got:
7# American 2 row
1# Munich Malt
1/2# Special B
1/2# Victory Malt
1/2# Carafa III
1 oz Perle 4%AA
1oz Tettnager 4.5% AA
I get 1.046 @ 75 % and 22 IBUs depending on how well the hops have kept.
and then......I got a quart of yeast slurry from some S-189 that is 3rd generation been kept near freezing not washed harvested from a cream ale on 8/20/19 I'm going no starter baby. Its all in or dump I figure what the hell. I've used really old yeast before but it was ale yeast. I have used some 9th generation Wyeast 1318 nearly a year old before in a bitter and it came out fantastic and I've used some 2nd generation WLP004 Irish ale that was 2 years old in a stout that was pretty terrible so..... I've never done this with lager yeast going to be interesting I thought I'd post results here plan to brew Thursday
Cheers
