Im thinking about using a single 55 gallon carboy instead of the many 5 gallon carboys this year. In the past I would add a single packet of dry yeast to each 5 gallon container. This worked fine.
If I use the 50 gallon container can I use a single (or 2 or 3) packet for for the whole large batch or do I need to add a single packet for every 5 gallons? In this case 10 packets?
My understanding is yeast is alive and will multiply to fill the container, so only one should be necessary.
