Brewing Sat and Sun. Blonde Ale on Sat and probably another hoppy APA on Sunday, I want to attempt my first yeast re-usage

I do this all the time now. I've bought the SafAle and Saflager sachets and in the beginning was using a new packet for every brew .. then started experimenting (after watching many youtube videos on how to do this) and it working like a charm everytiime .. my leftover yeast porridge I filter the yeast out more or less selectively and repitch - else I'll keep it in the fridge an d make a MDE starter for the next batch.

I've gathered two batches after bottling this weekend. US-05 and W34/70. A-la Mr @JIGSAW I just dump the whole yeast cake at the bottom into a sanitized Ziplock bag and plop into the fridge. Craigtube has been doing it for years with much success.

Bottled a Pilsner (SMaSH) and an APA this weekend, Brewed a Kolsch-style today. Don't have proper Kolsch yeast so pitching K-97 tomorrow once the cube has cooled

Going to attempt a lager with kveik oslo this weekend and bottle the trappist style single, which I had a taste of yesterday, not too bad.

Doing a double brewday this w/end. Bitburger and NZ Pils, supposed to have done it last w/end...

[Langchop Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Langchop]

Scheduled a brewday for tomorrow, about 3 weeks ago. Planning another pilsner. 'Some' of the first attempt were quite good and happy if I get something similar. What I did last time was 2kg pilsner malt, 1.8kg pale malt, 0.7kg carapils (wow, quite a lot) 0.2kg 60L crystal.

I got plenty pilsener, pale and munich but no carapils. Here's what I plan this time, but please give suggestions...
3kg pilsner malt
1.2kg pale malt
0.5kg munich
maybe 200g or so what malt or oats to bulk it and foam it a bit?

Southern star for most of the bittering at 60 min
Then only saaz late in the boil for flavour and aroma and some minimal bittering.

~35IBU

W34/70 yeast

Do you dry hop a pilsner?

[BackOffMyBrew Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close BackOffMyBrew]

I suppose in theory you could dry hop a Pilsner but it's not what Pilsner is about really

I'd highly recommend a 100% Pilsner malt grainbill (what malts are you using?) I'ts delicious and you dont need cara in it.
My NZ pils has only mittelfruh and pacifica on 35m - nothing else. You can dryhop a pils,but if youre going 100% pils malt, then you have nowhere to hide.

I'm not brewing tomorrow :-( Injured my hand

[BackOffMyBrew Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close BackOffMyBrew]

Agreed, I typically do a SMaSH when brewing a Pilsner. Either Mittlefruh or Tettnanger

[Langchop Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Langchop]

Duly noted thank you. I will use just pilsner malt. I actually think I just added pale last time cos I was using leftovers? Think I will still sneak in some wheat malt for some head retention. Your NZ pilsner sounds interesting to Spook. That may be my first future NZ brew.

I've made some very tasty beer using just left over malt and hops in any combination

Pitched the reclaimed yeast this morning. 3 hours later and there's already activity. Holding thumbs

[Langchop Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close Langchop]

Hmmmm. When that saaz hop you bought from a new 'upspring' HBS actually smells just like southern promise

[paul.stevens Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close paul.stevens]

Hmm, that doesn't sound right, Southern Promise is basically a type of Fuggles
