Okay gotcha. Using a half sounds good to me. I’m doing experimental cider brews and dont want to use a whole packet if I don’t have to.

It’s cider yeast - 9grams and it says it’s for 5-6 gallons. Should I just use a whole packet or measure it out so I can use the rest of the packet for another brew. I’d rather measure it out so I have a couple more brews out of one packet.

What’s the best way to measure out yeast from a 9gram packet. I’m doing one gallon experimental brews and the packet is for 5 gallons. What would be the best way to measure out a fifth? Weigh it with a scale? What would you guys do?

Okay thanks guys

Will a wing capper seal twist off bottle? Researched a little online and got mixed reviews. I have some normal bottles and some twist off, I just wasn’t sure if the twist offs are reusable with a wing capper

I agree. My plan is once I transfer the beer to the secondary tank, I want to brew up a wheat beer Incase I don’t like the chinook ipa. I’m not too keen on IPAs. I like my blue moon, shock top, allagash white and I like most lagers haha.

Okay thank you both of you. I wish this process was quicker, I can’t wait to try my first brew!

Got my deluxe northern brewer with chinook ipa. Brewed it on Wednesday. Airlock started bubbling Thursday night and I checked it yesterday and it is bubbling constantly. Is constant bubbling a good sign of fermentation? Also is it normal for the beer to have 2 color tones to it? It’s in a...
