Bloomers, loafs, flatbreads, rye breads, wheat breads, sourdough breads, yeast breads - all fermented breads are welcome! Vienesse pastries like croissants are also welcome because technically they're breads too.
This is an English language only comminuty.
Rules:
- All posts must be bread or baking-related.
- No SPAM and advertising posts. If you want to promote your business - contact mods first to get an approval.
- No NSFW content.
- Try to share your recipe with your photos so everyone is able to recreate it.
- All recipes are public domain, recipe books are not. You can post any recipe invented by someone else, but you cannot post copyrighted work. That means no photos of book pages and screenshots of 3rd party web sites. Write the recipe down in text format instead.

How did you harvest it? I brew as well. I've tried with some trub and it didn't work at all.
Trub is basically all tired/dead yeast. You want to harvest it during the Krausen that's the growth stage. Its sometimes referred to as barm.
I poured some from the bottom of the carboy into a jar, after secondary ferment. Then I fed it, and it worked well. Idk maybe I just got lucky, or I beat the statistics through quantity. Your mileage may vary.
