Hey all, I contemplated posting this in the All-grain forum, but thought I would post here since I am a relatively new brewer. I have brewed 5 extract batches so far, but this weekend I will be brewing my first all-grain. The recipe includes 6.5 lbs of pilsner malt and 5.0 lbs of munich with...

Hello all! Today I brewed my second batch of beer and after going over my notes I am starting to worry a bit about not pitching enough yeast. The recipe I did was a porter and my OG was 1.062 in 6 gallons. I pitched one pack of WLP 002 English Ale yeast and I'm thinking it won't be enough...
