actually, if you cant divide in less than like 5 minutes, thats a bad idea because the yeast immediately begins to flocculate within 5 minutes of being introduced to properly oxygenated beer with a gravity higher than 1.006 (which is anything that hasnt fermented yet) so unless you can divy it up very quickly, dont do that. on top of that, you risk infection from all of the extra transferring and extra equipment that is introduced into the beer. i would eyeball it. and stay away from the cheetos and bean bags.

Thanks for all the good advise. I think I'm going to pitch the yeat into the seperate jugs. I use a counterflow heat exchanger, so it's easier for me to cool while racking to the smaller jugs. I don't want to introduce new containers by having to rack it to a bucket first, pitching the yeast, and then racking to the smaller jugs.
