I am tired of dropping $8 for a slap pack everytime I brew a beer. What I want to do is this:
I use Wyeast 1056 American ale II quite often. So, I want to buy one slap pack, put it in a starter, then divide in 3-5 portions. Sounds simple enough!
Here is the part that is stumping me...How do I know I have a high enough cell count so I can divide it up? Is this possible? I don't think it is necessary to use it in a batch the wash it out of my fermenter. I would rather just do it from the beginning.
Buy one pack, divide to 5 packs, penny saved is a penny earned!
