Yes a Standard 9-11 gram packet of US-05 https://www.homebrewtalk.com/threads/yeast-amount-for-small-batch-beer.698233/

Is there any issues using a full package of DRY yeast in a 1 gallon fermentation. Us-05 specifically. I have a scottish 70-/ heavy recipe that I converted from 5 gallons to 1 gallon. Apart from possible blow off, is there any downsides to just pitching the whole sachet. Doesn't seem to be...

Is there any issues using a full package of DRY yeast in a 1 gallon fermentation. Us-05 specifically

Please send code if still available

Yeah I just gave it a shake to re-suspend the solids in it. I believe NB will replace this kit for me. Could stars an foam kill the yeast?

Sorry that was the gravity before I pitched the yeast and I just checked it again and it is still the same. I have moved it to a warmer area to see if that will help.

5 minutes before the end of boil I tossed in about a quarter of a tablet ground up.

I do have a Hydrometer I have an SG of 1.040. The instructions don't tell me what my FG should be. In Brewfather I get an FG of 1.005.

I can see stuff moving around in the fermenter. But I do not see any airlock activity. Mind you I have a fair bit of headspace between the surface and where the airlock is. I'm going to move the fermenter to a warmer room. The basement thermometer states it's around 65 but it feels...

Yep temperature of 70°. Its in a room with an ambient temp of 65°. It's not clear, its definently hazy, maybe it needs to warm up a bit, and all the floaters were at the bottom of the fermenter yesterday, so they wouldn't just magically rise to the top without some sort of assistance would they?

Well its it's been 24 hours and this is what the beer looks like currently. I think I it's just chunks of coagulation from the whirfloc addition, but I don't see any activity either.

It is in the fermenter. I did use a quarter of a whirfloc tablet and it looks like an upside down latte in the bubbler. Also directions told me to just sprinkle yeast on top, in the past I have rehydrated my yeast. But i assume since this is only a 1 Gallon recipe the yeast should be fine.

I would assume I would only use half a whirfloc tablet in this instead of a whole one. Do you crush the tablet up first before adding it

I have an immersion chiller, no idea how I am going to hook it up with my current setup so the ice bath might be my only option. Thanks for your help

Hi all Will be brewing Northern Brewers American Wheat 1 gallon extract kit tomorrow. I looked at the instructions for the kit and they're not very clear on some of the instructions Firstly they don't give an OG or FG for the kit. I entered the recipe into brew father and I get an OG of...
