I am not a yeast expert but doesn't it replicate itself? Maybe I am totally wrong about that. Wednesday day I brewed my second batch and I pitched a half a canister WLP011 European ale yeast into my carboy. 24 hours later there was strong fermentation activity and less than 48 hours it was strong and frothy. My plan was to move it to a secondary fermentor today and pitch a full vial of yeast with a little honey. Yes I know 3-4 days is way to early to move it but I fly out of town for over a week tomorrow and my last batch with a full yeast pitch in the first stage did almost nothing after five days so I did another full yeast pitch in the second and it turned out to be an amazing ale. The reason I ask this question is that I am considering not moving the wort to a secondary fermentor and not picting the second yeast since there is still so much activity going on.
Can half a yeast vial fully ferment a strong wort over time?
Cheers
