So, for my second AG batch i managed to get a much higher efficiency out of my mash than I anticipated:rockin: . I ended up with 18litre (just shy of 5 gl) 1070.
I pitched the yest (1056 american ale) directly from the activator smack pack (I know I should have done a starter but I didn't know I'd have a day off for brewing until this morning). It says on the pack that it is enough to innoculate a 5 gl batch of 1060.
From your experience, will pitching into a 5 gl 1070 directly from the smackpack work in most cases or do I have to order another pack (I probably will anyway, but I was thinking on using the yeast cake for my next batch in two weeks)?
