Transferred it to a small 1 gallon keg and carbonated up the beer.  After carbonation I took a sample after running off a few glasses and it was pretty mercy looking.  Taste was very similar to the last frozen yeast experiment, I didn&#8217;t get the medicine flavor as from the first brew of the yeast.  I think the original had a medicine flavor as the yeast was stressed to ferment the wort as it counts were not good.  Now that I has able to prop up a good amount no more medicine flavor but I go get this,  I call it old flavor.   Its hard for me to put to words but maybe leathery is a way to explain,  old leathery smell in a flavor.  Now that I&#8217;m looking at the pictures as well I&#8217;m wondering if it just oxidation.   I&#8217;m not going to call this a flop but I think I need to work on my yeast growth skills and do  more of these small batches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images
