Yeast production Slows to fast.
my yeast drops off at about 1week and i usually change it when i do weekly
maintenance. by 2 weeks time it is pretty weak. jtm -- Remove NOSPAM for email replies "Ryanw1234" wrote in message om... I currently use 2 1.87L bottles for my yeast production. I can keep the CO2 levels up around 20ppm or higher for the better part of the week. But when I hit about the one week mark my yeast production drops way off, like to the point where its only 1 bubble every 15 seconds. This is the same with both bottles. I have tryed changing all the variables to make it go longer. These bottles where both started at the same time. Im thinking the only thing that it could be is the yeast..Should I try a different type...or is there something else that im missing? Thanks Ryan Wilson |

.Should I try a different type...or is there something else that
im missing? Trying a different type might help. Wine or champagne yeasts tend to produce longer, steadier Co2 production than bread yeasts, which are meant to raise bread quickly. Leigh http://www.fortunecity.com/lavender/halloween/881/ |

Wine/champagne yeast is the way to go. I use Lalvin EC1118(Champagne) or
Lalvin K1-V1116(white wine) which last me 5 weeks! I use a heater as well to keep the temp above 20C. Otherwise try to get a yeast with a high alcohol/sugar tolerance otherwise it'll produce inconsistant bubble production or go kaput at 3-5% alcohol(1-2 weeks) using standard bread yeast. I've read Fleischmans is supposed to be a good bread yeast if you can't get your hands on the wine yeasts. "Ryanw1234" wrote in message om... I currently use 2 1.87L bottles for my yeast production.

For 3 bucks a month you can buy the hagen mix designed for their yeast
system. It works fine for me! |
