This is similar to another post on here, but not exactly. Im making a 10 gallon batch of lager and i went to the home brew store and they only had one packet of each type of yeast.

is it ok to pitch just one pack of yeast in 10 gallons? Im using wyeast 2035 american lager.

keep in mind, im in no hurry, this can sit in the primary for a few weeks if need be.
i dont have any dme to make a starter either, i can go buy some if i have to, but its not something i usually keep on hand.

thanks
 
I asked the same question and the general consensus was one pack for each 5 gal. So that's what I did,10 gallons split into 2 5 gallon buckets.1 pack of yeast each.Then saved(washed) yeast for next batch.Now I have more than I know what to do with.And that's a good thing.
