Hey guys! I am wanting to do an experiment. I was listening to the last podcast with White Labs and it made me want to try out more types of yeast. I usually rely on the San Diego Super Yeast for the majority of my brewing. So I was thinking of a recipe and I have a bunch of 2-row, some Chinook, and maybe a package of Magnum on hand. I was thinking about making 6 gallons of wort and dividing them into one gallon fermenters. I am not sure which yeast strains I want to use, but I am thinking I am going to use 001, San Diego super yeast, and 4 others. I primarily want to use the grain and hops I have on hand, but I am gonna have to go to the LHBS to get the yeast, so I can easily pick up a few other ingredients. Here is my plan on the recipe, What do you guys think? Should I change it?
12 lbs 2-row
.5 oz. Magnum 60 min
.5 oz. magnum 15 min
1 oz. Chinook 0 min
Then 6 different yeast strains.
Also, I am planning on getting 6 tubes of White Labs yeast and adding them with out a starter. I can ferment two different temps: a pretty constant 70F in my closet and a temp controlled minifreezer.
