I recently came across a 45 gallon Brew set up, and I have plenty of yeast. The problem is all the yeast strains I have are enough to make starters for 5 gallon batches.

I know airlock activity does not mean much but today I'm on day 9 and I wanted to check the gravity. I noticed that the airlock has a burp about every 40-50 seconds. I don't want to open the lid till completely done. I ask because I use safe ale 05 quite a bit and in 3 or 4 days its usually...
