Look up brew in a bag website ad dowload their spreadsheet. They have built in a calculation based on your kettle diameter. I use this aling with a ss ruler to get precise measurements any time
So my new mother in law decided to transplant the hops that were growing at her house into my yard last summer. This is all gravy...except she forgot which one she put where. Is there any way of telling the varieties without having them tested?
Thanks for the detailed response. I failed to mention that on he bottom it also says BPA free... So that isn't a concern. I might keep one and use it when needed. Thanks
i know this topic has been exhausted throughout the brewing forums, but I haven't hear much advice/talk about #7 plastic. My wife bought some cheap three gallon water bottles from target for four bucks a bottle. The bottom says for water use only. My thought is....although most people say to...

Well good to hear. My local shop is too far away but it's only logical if homebrewers have the knowledge and resources to harvest and re-use yeast for a few generations. I would trust these yeast over a vial of "new" yeast any day.
