How much if I take all the TCs

Il take the burner please

Il take it all with picture confirmation

what size is the fermenter ? if its the 1BBL from Stout.. il take it please.

What do you mean not to late ? When is it to late to grab the yeast ? Besides after pitching the yeast Into the wort lol

on a side note not to hijack my own thread but do you have a 4 liter flask ? is that how you stepped up to 4L

Afternoon guys.. I've just made 2 x 2L starters with a Bavarian lager and American Lager.. they are in flasks right now waiting for brewery tomorrow.. I'm wondering... i have 20 viles of slants ready for yeast waiting... can i decant off all the old wort and stick a sterilized hook...

Also just bought the big flask to solve this issue. I kinda wanted to use 2 different strains ( American & Bohemian ) so i can see the taste differences in the beer and kinda refine a nice lager to what i like.. then next batch il use that new 5000 Ml flask i just got and boom ! ... take...

That's a lot of brewing hah.. I'm gunna split the bAtch so it's 5 and 5 .. Got an American lager already done Now I have the bohemian lager on the stir plate.. It's a bit old though.. Nov 3rd :(

Correct it runs at 371 billion with the package date taken into effect.. I looked up a 5000ml flask and they are $60 ouch but could be a good investment. Thanks for all the help guys.. I would hate to underpitch wort after all that hard work making it

Makes sense.. So what's your thoughts if for this 10 gallon batch I split it into 2 5 gallon batches and then make 2 different yeast strain starters.. So that would be 400 billion each 5 gallon batch.. Then in future I need a bigger vessel for a yeast starter of this size.. Or the next batch...

I'm making a 10 gallon batch so it's calling for 703 billion cells I'm also thinking maybe il just split the batch and do two different strains of yeast.

Interesting... What if I take the 2l flask when it's done.. Decante all the liquid off into another flask while leave the yeast cake.. Then the liquid that got decanted pore new dme wort into that and place it on the stirplate.. And the yeast cask il leave a bit of liquid in the flask...

How do you propose I get bigger growth ? I mean I only have a 2l flask ?

Initial volume was 2 litres and then decanted it off to 250ml so I added 1750 more of new dme to have another 2 litre starter with ton more yeast
