Hey all,
I was in need of some yeast fast and went to the local brewery to get some fresh stuff out of the tank but they didn't have anything available. They did however have an unused direct pitch from Wyeast for their 2 bbl brew house. It has been in cold storage for about 6 weeks. I brought it home and threw it in a 2L flask to see how much I actually have. Looks like 750ml of thick slurry and about 250ml beer once it separated. I am going to pitch into 10 gallons of 1.070 wort tomorrow afternoon. I couldn't find a calculator to help me out so I thought i might ask. I was planning on adding 400ml of starter wort to wake things up since it is 6 weeks old. What do you all think? How much starter wort should I add and how much should I pitch into each 5 gallon carboy?
