I'm making a big DIPA. Calculator says it will be 1.104 OG, 1.027 FG, but that is including 2 lbs of honey, which I intend to put into the secondary. How do I account for that in my OG/FG calculations? Thanks!
I'm going to brew a Honey DIPA this weekend using US-05. I have it calculated out to 1095 OG. Brewer's Friend calculator is telling me I need at least 150 billion cells. Most posts around here tell me a packet of US-05 has about 200 billion. Am I safe pitching just one packet? It is really...
Can I use the "American Light" LME to make a starter? I'm never going to make the beer, but I don't want to waste the LME either. I'm trying to make a Honey DIPA with US-05. If so, should I pitch the whole starter, or just the slurry? Thanks!
