Just a quick question on something I don't undestand:
A lot of people I know (and on this forum) rack onto yeast cakes from a recent batch, and I too have done this with success for big beers. Often times this has come from a single 11.5g packet of dried yeast. On the contrary, according to literature and forums, "bigger" beers should have 2-packets pitched. Can someone explain to me how a yeast cake from one packet is sufficient but one packet fresh would not be? Thanks!
