Chunky Liquid Yeast

Postby miguelito » Sat Oct 17, 2009 9:53 pm

I just pitched a Wyeast 1968 and it was a bit chunky. Most liquid yeasts I have pitched are just smooth and milky. I have never used this one before and also noticed that the pack did not get as bloated and hard as other yeasts I have pitched. I smacked it a good 4 hours prior to pitching.

Anyone have any thoughts or experience with this yeast type :?:

I have not tried that style of yeast yet but the wyeast usally pop pretty fast for me. If it doesn't work out for you send it back, most places will stand behind their yeast..

I have no complaints at this time. The stuff is bubbling away. I just have never seen it come out that way and thought the worse. Still trying to learn to RELAX. :lol:
