aiite.. so...

Posted by colin (aka colinski) Jun 9 '11, 12:12

had an irish red 5 gallon batch in primary (6.5 gallon carboy). pitched 11.5g of Safale US-05 dry yeast. bubbled away nicely. after 9 days, i split the batch into two smaller secondary buckets. in one, just the irish red to clear up for bottling, in the other, 1 pound of raw honey and burbon soaked oak chips.

currently there's no activity in the honey bucket (no hydrometer readings, but no airlock activity), but there was a large air space. it's been about 4 days. should i repitch a heartier yeast like champagne yeast, or just let it ride for a few more weeks and see if the yeast picks up?

hmmm, I don't know what killed your yeast, but we never had it come back after 4 days of no activity. - loosilu Jun 9, 12:14 2
- when i transfered it, i left the yeast cake behind. i thought there would be enough in the beer to pick up the new sugars and keep going. - colin Jun 9, 12:16 1
  - yeah, you should repitch. WE've had much more success with liquid yeast, fwiw. -- nm - loosilu Jun 9, 12:20
