Spare Yeast?

Here's the final product. It's not bad for a weeks work but I have to admit that WLP029 was the wrong yeast to use for this type of thing.

Will definitely be repeating this experiment, but I'm going to make sure I have a more aggressive English or American strain on hand.

Not bad for a week but it looks like there is loads of yeast in suspension still. With a bit of luck it will clear over the next day or two.

ABV is 4.2%, I carbed by putting the beer on gas at 40PSI for 30 hours. I'll be surprised if she lasts two days, but we'll see!

There is a lot of yeast in suspension, and I also forgot to add my whirfloc... The wort looked like mud going into the fermenter and not much different coming out. The head retention isn't bad, but I really wish I could get rid of that sulphur edge to the aroma. Thanks for offering up your disconnects Shanna, but my gas ones are clamped on to my regulator so would be more trouble than its worth trying to rip them off and reconnect them.
