Yeast usage

[desrtdwller]

Getting ready to start my first 5 gal batch and took a glance at the back I the yeast package.

Noticed it indicates dosage is 1/gal

Can I use a single package for the entire 5 gal?

What yeast is it? I've never seen a wine / beer / cider yeast sold at my LHBS that was for less than 5 gallons.

1g/l is 1 gram per liter and its an 11g packet. odd that they'd want 2 packets for 5 gal/20-23 liters.

ok that helps a bit. I happened to buy two packets while I was there so when I do this I should pitch both packets then?

They're going through changes over there, but you can use 11g for 5 gallons (or 1 gallon). Are you in the USA?

Apparently their "date stamping machine" was stamping a little too hard and puncturing the vacuum seal but I thought was corrected months ago which is why I was wondering where you are from. I can say that they might be taking a "precautious" stance on it by saying to "overpitch" but I wouldn't.

I am in the US. Las Vegas to be exact. I need to fill out my profile so that shows.

The vacuum seal is not broken on my bags. There is no indentation where the date stamp is.

I think I am going to use one bag and do a starter so I get a good fermentation going before pitching and increase the cell count.....

Thanks,

Should be able to help you figure out the requisite pitch.

I've used a pack (11 grams) of Nottingham on 6 gallon (23 liter) batches without any problem.
