| 273.19 | Isinglass - secondary or bottling? | ODIXIE::ZOGRAN | Terps rising like a Phoenix! | Mon Feb 24 1997 09:16 | 14 |
| New entry in an old note -
Just brewed another batch, and under the lid of the extract can was a
package of yeast and a package of isinglass.
The yeast got tossed as it was old. Haven't used the isinglass yet,
which leads to my question - is it used when racking to the secondary
(it's in the primary right now), or when bottling?
I really don't care if the beer is all that clear, but I have the stuff
so....

| Dan,
I've never used the isinglas finings but I think they are used at
the end of the secondary. Thought being that the proteins that are
pulled out settle to the bottom of the secondary and are not racked off
to the bottling buicket. Also, I read an interesting item in Zymurgy
re: uses for old dry yeast or yeast that is unwanted that may come w/a
can of extract. The person recommended throwing the dry yeast that you
don't want into the boil! Obviously the yeast will be killed off but
what will remain are the yeast hulls which are very beneficial to your
desired yeast when it is pitched. I read another article months ago
about how beneficial these yeast hulls are to viable yeast cells. Just
an idea.
Cheers,
Tim

| So I would add it to the secondary a couple of days before bottling?
As for the yeast, I tried to get it started in a little warm water (100
degrees), but nothing happened. Fortunately I bought a back up package
of dry yeast so I was okay. I have another kit I'm ready to make so
I'll throw the old yeast package in with the boil.
As an aside, I just bough 2 cases of Bud returnables for $1.20 each.
They're in pretty good shape and the cases will come in handy.

What did you expect to happen? You were simply rehydrating the yeast
in preparation for fermentation. If you expected to see it ferment,
you would have needed to give it some food - DME is usually used -
and now you are making a starter - which takes some time to
ferment. As an aside, when I make pizza on most Sunday afternoons,
I throw a tablespoon of baker's yeast into 1/2 cup of warm water
with 2 tsp of sugar. It goes biserk and doubles in volume in 5 minutes
or so. But you shouldn't expect any visible activity when simply
rehydrating yeast in warm water.

| The new yeast package, when sprinkled in 100 degree water (no sugar), began
to "expand" after 10 minutes. I pitched it shortly thereafter and my brew
is still going strong (a bubble every six seconds) right now. The
yeast package that came with the extract can under the lid just sat
in the warm water and did nothing. I was not going to risk the use of
that yeast when I had another package handy.

(So when do I use the isinglass?)

| Dan,
Since you're so patiently waiting for an answer to your original
question....I would add the isinglas finings 5 days prior to xfer to
secondary. I'll check my references tonight but think that you should
be OK w/this. Usually the finings come w/instructions but if you got
them in a kit I'll bet they bought in bulk and repackaged.
On your yeast thing - if you rehydrated and the yeast clumped or did
not dissolve into a brownish slurry then it may well have been NFG.
Even dry yeast will go bad and you really cannot tell what's been put
under the lid! I still stand by the yeast hulls comment - keep that in
your arsenal for future reference.
Cheers,
Tim
