Hi Guys,
I like to make experimental batchs in 1 gallon demijohns... and then tip a different yeast into each one, I accidently poured 3/5 of a Whitelabs yeast(edit:Burton Ale yeast) bottle into this Demijohn...It took a very long time to get going 36hours and then a very thin, large bubbled head formed(See pics)...It looked unhealthy compared to the usual thick Krausen... I measured the gravity today and it was 1.011 so it did the job...That bottle of yeast is meant for a 5 gallon batch.. What can I expect from this Batch? been super-yeasted? I'll report back later with a Taste test..I have faith in the brewing gods to deliver this one for me hehe
The head is very thin!!! Not thick and creamy
Big Bubbles..Arggghhh
