Hello all,
In my infinite wisdom I purchased three beer kits with the same yeast and only bought one yeast vile. I was thinking, why by three yeast viles when I can just grow more yeast. I never thought about it but I really don't know how to grow yeast the best way given my situation. I figured I need 600 million yeast cells for all three of my beers.
I only have one yeast vile a 2L borosilicate glass flask... I wish I either had more yeast viles or a larger flask, but I don't. According to the chart it looks like I can only make 200 million cells with the 2L flask and one yeast vile? Could I brew a beer and use the yeast at the bottom of the trub for the next two batches?
I obviously don't want to wear out my yeast, so I figured I'd ask the experts. Any suggestion?
