Blogging while furloughed and locked down

[marshbrewer]

Now I've been furloughed and am in lock down, I've decided to set myself the task of updating my blog every day with home brewing and beer related nonsense. Feel free to drop by (virtually, of course).

Day 1 - Lockdown Wow

Day 2 - Wye Valley yeast recovery, and 'I wonder if the WOW's started yet?'

If your wondering whether the Butty Bach yeast is the primary strain in the bottle, I think it is. Have a look at this thread

Aye, it was the posts on here, and the fact its available in my local Coop, that made me give it a go. But it's sooooooo flocculant I wonder if they have changed it recently? I guess I will know more after this step up, as with the amount of yeast I am starting with I'm hoping to see some kind of krausan on this step up.

Drop them an email and ask? They're a small brewery and may well tell you. Nothing to lose either way. If it turns out to be a mega flocculent killer strain used for bottling then best to find out before it gets into your system.

Could do. It's probably daft, but I sort of feel bad bothering people at the moment, with it being tough times for brewers. If it's a bottling strain, its unlikely to be anything other than CBC-1, I suspect. To be honest, I've got weeks of this, so I might as well dive head long into another calamity.
