YEAST Cake in beer
« on: January 08, 2014, 06:30:24 am »
Bottling a small one gallon batch and I ended up siphoning a lot of the yeast cake. Should I let this re-settle and then bottle or just bottle?

You should be fine just bottling. Just let it settle a few minutes in your bottling bucket. The less you handle the beer, the better.

I agree... let it settle then bottle away.  You'll want to leave most of the yeast behind... but alittle will be fine...  I would probably cold crash it for a day or so to drop out the yeast quicker... but I'm anal lol.

I'm still trying to figure out how to add cake as in ingredient in BeerSmith... (I guess it'd be a Specialty Grain?)
