Hello,
I plan on brewing BrewPastor's Dark Night of the Soul, which should come in at a very high gravity. The venerable BP suggests using a huge starter, and when I first brewed it I had a yeast cake. Unfortunately that brew didn't go according to plan and I need to redo it, but I don't have any brews going onto which I could pitch this.
I could make a starter, but I wonder, would I be alright pitching multiple packs of US-05/1056? Three packs of 05 or two XL packs of 1056? It just seems slightly more foolproof than making a starter.
Thanks for the input.
