Rocky Point Artisan Brewers

Yuri and I made a quick starter for our Abbey yeast. I mentioned last time about using Malta Goya as a ready-made wort for your starter, well, Yuri noticed that Malta Goya has salt in it. If that’s something you wish to avoid then Malta La Cena appears to be salt free. Instead of aeration we decided to oleate with a drop of tasty olive oil. Evidently it only takes a drop. [See “Olive Oil Addition to Yeast as an Alternative to Wort Aeration” by G. Hull, pdf.]

In other brewery news, we’re restocking on malt. Our order should arrive today. Looks like we’re brewing on Saturday. Yee haw!
