I went all out and bought a new rig recently. 10 gal cooler mash tun and a converted keggle. First batch was a saison, I hit 60% efficiency. No big deal. I was a BIAB brewer and that was my standard. I figured I would have to run a few batches through before dialing in my process. So for my second brew on this setup, I made a Double IPA. Bought enough grain for 1.077 OG at 60% efficiency, but whoops, I hit 75%. I'm not complaining about the ABV, as I now have a 1.096 OG DIPA. Could be worse, I guess. Anyway, the problem is that I only made a 1.7 L starter (WLP007). It's off and running and fermenting great, but I would hate to have my yeast peter out early. Should I chuck in a rehydrated packet of S-04? or should I leave it? BrewSmith recommends a 1.97 L starter. I'm about 25 billion yeast cells short.
