Finally broke out my BRY-97 this past weekend. I kept a close eye on takeoff time since everyone was saying that this yeast was a bit slower.
OG was 1.055 and I pitched ~ 70-72 F. Ambient temps in house brought the temp down to 66-68 F, where its been fermenting steadily for 4 days. I pitched late Saturday afternoon and had blowoff by Sunday morning, so no delays here. My pitching practice is to use pure oxygen ~45 seconds and rehydrate the yeast. I did use a little more yeast than most people though. I probably pitched 16-17 g into 5 gallons. Did anyone else notice the recommended pitching rate on the back? It says 1 g / L.
