Hello All.
I am planning to make a summer seasonal which is a Belgian blonde. I have had great success with using the Duvel strain on the pilot scale, but yeast is cheap for a 10 gallon batch.
Making the move to a 20 bbl commercial batch requires any brewery to get some reclamation of yeast. So that leads to my question, what are others doing to collect enough Belgian yeast for another pitch. I don't expect to get more than 3 generations, but in this business all the reuse we can get helps.
I appreciate the input from all. Thanks!
