That's the thick sediment at bottom before left after I bottle?
Haha. Rack is just a term for move from one container to another.

In South Africa Carling Black label is the best selling beer.
I would like to make a clone of it.
Should I start a new thread?
I'll post a pic of the bottle and it's specs.
I assume it should be a watered down beer that could be easily brewed in 7 days?
Let me know your thoughts and what you would do to replicate our "national" beer
As always,all replies appreciated.
Thanks

I would suggest creating a new thread under 'Recipes For Feedback'.
Is the negative feedback from some brewers because this is a bad beer or just a flavorless mega-brewery beer? We have a lot of that here in the U.S.. They are not bad beers, just not something I would want to reproduce.

I never had a craft or homebrew beer before.
Had a bud,Heineken,blonde Weiss, Miller's.
These are all brands they marketed and tried to sell,but the Carling black label remained the flagship.
Everyone went back to it,cause it's a taste we know
Bland, slightly bitter,gets u drunk.
That's it.
Then I brewed a beer with different flavors and got drunk...
A new thread might be best in the location Barbarian Brewer mentioned. I've never had the beer BUT - it looks like a Lager. - You won't be able to get it as crystal clear as it pours from the bottle in 7 days... Heck 34/70 yeast will take at least 7-10 just to finish out fermenting even at warm temperatures... If you attempt it you will need some true patience.
I'll give at least one other tip here before you post your recipe in the other thread...
---------You'll probably need flaked corn/maize or at least some instant rice.
I
I mean without looking it up I'm pretty sure Bud Light is the #1 selling beer in the US and it be one of the last beers I'd want to clone. Wouldn't call it bad as much as boring
Yes. That very yeasty smelling tan goop at the bottom (what you leave behind when you bottle) is the yeast that has dropped out of suspension. You can honestly dump your newest "wort" right on top and it'll take off again. Just make sure you have the wort at a decent temp - whatever folks recommended for your yeast.
We can help you make something similar to Black Label I am sure, however, you may not have the "right" ingredients on hand. If you need to only use what you have you may not get close enough.

Hi so I siphoned off another batch and currently brewing another.
I have about a inch of sediment/yeast/trub..? left in my fermenter.
Can I siphon my cooled wort into it and give it a stir, without pitching new yeast.
Yup. It's that easy
Keep it safely covered until then to keep anything wild from getting mixed in.
So what does @Zambezi Special think of the Carling black Label National tipple?
Them pics are hard to see well.
Looks as posted above there's some maize in it .

Till it taste bad. Or when the yeast cake is taking up to much room in the fermenter.
Most of us don't reuse it cause we have fresh stuff, but if you can't get more easily just use it until you don't like the flavour.

I don't think I have ever done more than 3 batches but as Hawkbox said: you can continue using it until it either takes up too much room in the fermentor or it starts tasting bad.
Bloody nora that IS Quick!
And or collect a jar of slurry and pitch this into cleaned fermentor many ways to skin a cat er reuse yeast

Dang! I guess I should have mentioned something about pitching on top of yeast cakes sooner! Sorry man.
