Only info I could find was on morebeer.com and they state 55 billion cell count. There are 11 grams per pack. This would be per pack or per gram? 2.81 grams x 5 gallons of beer is 14 grams of dry yeast according to Omegas Calculator. I have no clue how to do this...

Using my target OG of 1.098 Omegas calc gives a pitch rate of 2.81g/gal. So how can I use this information to figure out how to overbuild my yeast from an 11 gram packet?

The Lutra dry yeast Recommended Pitch Rate: 60 - 120 g/bbl (50 - 100 g/hL) Can someone please define these abbreviations? I don't get it. TIA

I think I'll try making a starter from my dry yeast packet and overbuild it so I can store some for later and avoid using it from fermentation keg. From what I've read this should work better. I have a heated stir plate I've been wanting to try out anyway.

@InspectorJon What reasons were given for not reusing yeast from high abv?

I've seen lots of videos on glycol chillers and lots on using fridges with seed blankets and inkbird control. But none comparing the pros and cons of each. Seems to me the fridge option works well with by few modifications and is the method I use. Which method do you use and why? TIA

Found lots of youtube videos on reuseing / washing yeast from trub. Thanks for your help.

It is a 7.6 gallon kegmenter. After pressure transferring the beer to a corny keg it's not too heavy but how do you separate the yeast from the gunk or trube?

I've been making a Fruit Bomb Triple IPA that to me is the best beer I've ever tasted. Original recipe on Brewfather by David Heath. It uses Lutra Kveik (DRY) Omega OYL-071 yeast and the result is about 12% abv. I use Golden Promise Pale Malt as base. I also ferment under pressure in a 7.6...

@Brooothru To dryhop I use a large stainless steel tea strainer from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B095X6CFW5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Place two sous vide magnets inside with the hops then use the small chain to lower into the fermenter, hold it up against...

How can I be sure it's completely cleaned up?

I use brewfather app. I found this recipe Quarantine Mexican Lager (a corona clone) and put it in 2 5 gallon buckets with bubblers. It says to use WLP940 whitelabs yeast. I used CellarScience BAJA Yeast instead. Closest substitute I could find. OK so the recipe says to ferment 55 degrees for 14...

@humpadilo what beer are you making, what yeast, ect? Thanks

I'm a little dyslexic sometimes. Thanks for the correction.

Finally finished the control panel for my herms.

Finally finished this small project. Here are a few pics. Passivated with Barkeepers Friend. I still need to clean and sanitize before next use. All things considered I'm happy with the way it turned out.

This is my herms system. I've since added a mypin timer and alarm.

@apache_brew Interesting, I absolutely want a thermowell in the cap. I like you're idea, just ordered the parts. Thanks

@AlexKay I don't know why I hadn't thought to try putting the Sous Vide Weighted Magnets inside the Infuser. Doh! Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes...

You will definitely want a motor off some kind. Drill is cheapest option. It can be done by hand using the crank handle but you'll get tired of that method long before you grind enough for a 5 gallon batch.
