Hey guys and gals,
Just looking for a general quickie answer here, all variables aside, when I do a typical 1.050 beer, 5 gallon batch, cal ale yeast, how much should I expect to harvest once I rack the beer off the cake and proceed using the general method - I.e adding .5 gallons of boiled and cooled water, slosh around, pour into sanitized jar, let trouble settle for approx. half hour, decant into another jar.
Right now I seem to only get around 100 ml of yeast from harvesting, and I feel like I should be getting more. What is the typical amount of yeast that should be harvested?
Thanks,
Jake
