Is one pack of Safale-05 enough for a 5 gal batch or are you guys using two? mr malty says 1.3 packs but i dont want to waste a second pack if its not needed.
tre9er said:Make a small starter. Sanitize a jar, boil some water and DME, cool, add to jar with yeast, cover in sanitized foil, shake from time to time. Counts will multiply enough to only need one pack.

mike_in_ak said:JMO you should edit the OP and put the yeast in there. I know I've looked through the thread for it at least a few times.

Cheers for the awesome recipe
How long was it aged?
Anyone ever try spicing this with pumpkin spice instead? I have five gallons aging and was thinking of splitting the batch and doing one spices as instructed and one as a pumpkin instead.
