I've searched but haven't found an answer to this question.
I cultured from the dregs of 2 two hearted ale bottles and got a nice starter. I just brewed a two hearted ale clone and plan to harvest from it. Do you all top crop or bottom crop from your existing Bell's strain??
The reason I ask it that I may not be home during peak fermentation with the Thanksgiving holiday and being out of town. I may have no other choice than to bottom crop this batch. Is one method preferred to keep the Bell's characteristics intact for as long as possible??
Thanks in advance
