..erm... is it just healthier and happier than commercial packaged yeast...?
I pitched what I cultured (well 2/3 of what I cultured) from a polypin of Hook Norton Gold into my porter-y stuff this morning.
It has gone absolutely batsh*t crazy! Not massive head or anything just seriously rapid start and seriously vigorous ferment! Normally with commercial yeast I have to wait 36-48 hours for the main event. I pitched at just gone 7 this morning and when I got home about half six it was really going strong...
And even with the most vigorous bit of fermentation I usually get a rash of bubbles through the airlock, pause, another blast, pause... Not this stuff!! It is just constantly bubbling through - it is seriously aggressive stuff!!
Anyone else found this with reclaimed or donated brewery yeast?
