Planning on pitching 7.5g of this stuff for an IPA im brewing using a variety of hops. Bad idea, or good?
what is your projected OG, and what is your post-boil volume?Awesome, thanks everyone! And I used a yeast calculator that gave me a 7.5 - 8g yeast result. Maybe I underestimated my OG... would 11.5g be a good amt?
I pitch 2 packs per 6.5 gall, better heavy than light.
your yeast calculator is never gonna tell you "just use that stale third of a packet of US-05 that's been sitting in the back of your fridge for four months,"
Just between us brewers, I'll take the yeast cake from one 6.5 gal carboy and split it up between 3 more 6.5 gallon carboys and I have no idea how much I'm pitching. All my APA's are about 6.5-7% abv

I have just started to use this over the past 3-4 batches and I am very happy.
I only have one question to add.... I have been getting FG readings of sub .010 (like 1.004, 1.006) with approx 6-7% ABV beer. Is this the general deal with this yeast?
Yup, I wash it, get about 4 mason jars, store it for a couple weeks and pitch one jar again. The other three get starters and go. Seems to be working fine.
