Arrived back in Munich on Monday night and a delivery from Brouwland had arrived so opened a yeast propagator pack WYeast 1968 London ESB and within a day it was fully expanded probably to its stated 25 billion cells. On Tuesday evening made a 1.5l starter with 150g light malt extract and it's been bubbling away steadily on the bathroom floor ever since.
Brewing will take place today, 20th March 2008
Also at the same time (Monday night) I opened a packet of WYeast 1028 London which has been in the fridge forever, the manufacture date is 15th May 06. This is just an experiment, to see how it goes. It's expanding slowly, now about 3cm thick and I'll probably brew a beer kit with it later in the week to see how it goes and save a yeast culture in a bottle for experience.
