If I'm brewing a 1bbl batch of a light saison (around 1.045 OG), the "proper" pitching rate would be over 1 trillion cells. Really though, how should I approach this if just using Wyeast packs from the LHBS? It would be Wyeast
3724. I think that underpitching is a good way to go, as we'll be fermenting this pretty warm (around 70F), and I want the yeast to work hard, to promote ester production. Could I get away with 6 smack packs (only about 600M cells, which is just over half of the recommended rate)? How would you approach this?
