Hey guys I'm attempting my first Lager next week and am brewing a vienna Lager from the recipe section but it only calls for one pkg of safale S-23 lager yeast with a O.G of 1.051. Will one pkg do the job? Should I re-hydrate or dear I say make a starter from dry yeast??? (would increase viable yeast right?)
I have to order my yeast online so I do not want to have to place a second order considering shipping costs are $$$.
Here is the recipie: Its mostly vienna malt,some caramunic and a little crystal 60.
Recipe Type: All Grain
Yeast: Saflager s-23 or favorite
Yeast Starter: n/a for dry
Batch Size (Gallons): 5
Original Gravity: 1.051
Final Gravity: 1.010
IBU: 23.5
Boiling Time (Minutes): 60
Color: 12.7
Primary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 30 @ 55F
Secondary Fermentation (# of Days & Temp): 30 @ 35F
Would I be seriously underpitching?
Thanks
Jamie.
