California Ale from Y3A

Measured 650mL water, 60 grams light dry malt extract, and .5tsp. yeast energizer. Placed in pan and heated on high until boiling and foamy. Covered and continued to boil for a minute or two. Removed from heat and placed in water bath to cool, still covered.

Poured 50mL of cold yeast from Y3A into sanitized funnel. Added new wort (~ 85¡f). Capped with airlock and placed in closet.

Poured off 400mL of liquid and discarded. Foolishly shook it first, so we waited about 10 minutes for it to settle. It appears much cloudier than the last batch and there seems to be less total yeast.

Poured 50mL each into two sanitized Coca-Cola bottles (using sanitized graduated cylinder) and capped. Reserved the rest for use in M5.
