so I used a pouch of white labs wlp029 pure pitch in 1.5Qt starter, let it ferment out on stir plate and then decanted and pitched it into my alt on 12/26 at 4pm. went into 58F wort and held there until this morning when krausen had dropped . decided to take a reading and it went from 1.052 to 1.013....suprised me based upon experience with wlp029 and colder temps then recommended by white labs.
my pure pitch was month old, and with 1.5qt starter and how quickly this has progressed, got me thinking it was over pitched. everything tastes and smell as expected with this yeast and brew...just curious how it progressed so quickly.
anyway, Ive put slow ramp on carboy warming it up to 68F and holding to finish up and clean up.
