I have a new 20 gal kettle and I made a little too much wort for my (2) 6 gal Better Bottles. I put about 5 1/2 gal in each of a simple APA and pitched a packet of re-hydrated SA-05 in each. It took off in both BB's and thank goodness for the blow tubes.
I have separate containers of StarSan for each blow off tube and changed to fresh containers after 36 hours. When I emptied the milky mess I could not believe how much yeast was in the bottom of each container! Must of been at least a 1/2" layer in the bottom of each container. All that good yeast wasted!
But I now want to try a top crop procedure for real in the future.
