Yesterday I made a Bavarian hefe with 3068. As of now, it's just transitioning from lag phase to fermentation - just a little bit of foam forming and a little movement inside the fermentor.
So today I'm brewing a weizenbock. My plan is to use the hefe like a yeast starter. I figure pouring 1-2qts of the hefe into the weizenbock is a pretty good pitch rate. Got any opinions on quantity?
The weizenbock's OG going into the fermentor will be about 1.087, but I expect it to be more like 1.081-85 after "pitching."
