Hey All! Finishing up my yeast starter (WLP830) for my first lager and planning to brew a simple bitburger clone this weekend and had a question about the lagering temperatures... I am following a BYO recipe that states - pitch and ferment at 55 , d rest at 60 for 2-3 days, lager at 38-49 for 4...

Calculations are all correct and no stir plate for me... :) I am making a two step yeast starter so I only need the one pack...

just going by the yeast calculator... :) calculator says it needs at least 318B cells for the 1.045OG .

Hello! I am attempting my first lager brew, have done many ales, and have a question about the yeast... Normaly I use liquid yeast with a starter... Planning on brewing a lager (5 Gal) with an OG of 1.045. the yeast calculator is saying I need at least 3 liquid yeast packs (mfg date is 9/22/22)...

Hello: I brewed a Left Hand Milk Stout clone and just kegged it. I have been trying to find some information on what PSI the CO2 should be set at. I usually set at about 11-12 for my ales (temp of kegerator is 42). Is it okay to keep it at 11? Most info i found seems to be Nitro settings...

I tried to open the bucket and I guess I rocked it a bit. Started bubbling away late last night. So I left it. Still bubbling this morning. So I'll take a reading in a week or two to see. Thanks!

Hello: Just wondering if I can get some thoughts on my California Common. This is the first time I am using a lager yeast and I am not sure if this is normal or not. I am using the Wyeast 2112 that was dated 5/21/17. I made a starter for it and pitched it this past Saturday 7/29 and have...

Hello: I've looked through this thread for an extract version but not only seem to see the all grain or one that says is an extract but starts with 6 gallons of water... I was hoping to see if anyone has an extract version or get thoughts on one I tried to convert: (3.5 gallons to start)...

thanks for all the help! I'm still green with yeast starters. Done about 5 of them and never a 2 or 3 step one. But now is the time to try! :)

that is what I was getting with the 1.5 liter starter. But on Brewer's friend it ends up with 190 Billion...

I am starting with the Wyeast pack from 10/12/16. I don't have a stir plate, just using the shaking every time I walk by method... what is the best calculator to use? All 3 show differing rates for starters to get the proper amount of viable cells - Brewer's Friend, Brewunited and Yeastcalc...

Thanks. So according to that calculator for a 5.5 batch I would need 251 Billion cells. So I can do a two step starter each being 1.5 Liters and ending with a total of 264 Billion cells. Does that sound correct?

Thanks! So if I am using this right, I am making a high gravity ale - 1.067 OG. (5.5 gallon wort volume) Using the target pitch rate of Pro Brewer 1.0. The yeast I just got is from 10/12/16. Wyeast 1764 So I'm getting a target pitch rate of 336 Billion cells. Am I reading this correctly?
