Pitched reclaimed Mangrove Jacks Dark Ale Yeast M03 @ 25C at 00.30hrs 16/07/2016.

M03 was reclaimed from previous Mk 1 ESB and stored in sterilised jar in fridge since that batch was bottled.Took it from fridge and gave it a gentle shake,released cap loosely,placed in warm water bath in kitchen sink to help prevent thermal shock when pitching.

Fermentation started 45mins post pitching.
