At $62 a box i wont be converting to LCPA anytime soon. Is this stuff on tap anywhere in perth? Am heading over there later in the year for work and would love to sample some more.
Our Little Creatures ale yeast has the hardest job of all (not). Working its way through two batches of pale ale wort at 5000 litres per batch takes some 6 days, after which we chill and cold stabilise for a week before filtering off the yeast. The pale ale then receives a secondary conditioning yeast, some priming sugar to get it going, and it's either into the bottle and off to our temperature controlled conditioning store, or into one of our six monumental serving vessels behind the bar. Either way, the conditioning yeast performs a most wonderful service. It cleans up the beer taking away harsh green flavours allowing those complex hop, malt and fermentation aromas to make their mark. It also increases the CO2 to where we want it, and finally it keeps the beer fresh for longer by soaking up any oxidants in the beer. I guess yeast is just Mother Natures' little gift to us to ensure you get better beer.

I got a couple of the teabags, my question is should I simply chuck both bags into the fermenter just before pitching, or should I boil one for a length of time and pitch the other?
I would lean towards pitching both given LCPA is highly aromatic hops-wise, anyone else got a no-pinion?
Cheers - BenH

one query: would it be ok not to rack and just add the chinook to the primary and leave for how long?
