Color pickup from dark beer yeast slurry

Ingredients
1

I’ve got a Dubbel fermenting away and want to harvest slurry for a Tripel/BGS-type beer.

The Dubbel is dark for style (28 SRM by BeerSmith).

Will the yeast slurry from the Dubbel give any appreciable color to the Tripel?

2

Maybe a bit.  I’m about to do something similar, so I’ll know soon.

3

If you can, just let it settle out in the fridge for 2-3 days. Then you should be able to decant nearly all the beer.

4

Are you gonna wash it? That should get a lot of the dark color out.

5

I’m.  I took some pf the slurry and put it in a starter on a stir plate.  I’ll decant when it’s done.

6

I dont think their is going to be much color change. Just thinking assuming a quarter gallon of 17 SRM slurry into 5 gallons on fresh wort at 4.5 SRM yields a net 5.0 SRM beer. Maybe I’m thinking too simplistic  :-\

7

I observed a color change in a beer I racked onto darker beer yeast cake.  It can happen.

8

I like using fresh slurry because it means I don’t have to do a starter (if the timing is right).

The Dubbel might not be finished this weekend anyway, so I’ll probably have to harvest, decant, store, and make a starter in another week or two.

I’m okay with it: its the Schelde strain from Wyeast (3655-PC) and it smells really nice!
