Hey all,
Based on some answers this weekend I'm worried I wont have enough yeast to pitch into my Bell's Two Hearted Clone. I harvested the yeast from 4 bottles and did a step up starter but the instructions I followed apparently had the starter gravity WAY too high (1L water 8 oz DME) so after like a 6 days on the stir plate and 36 hours cold crashing this is what I ended up with in my 2L flask. Does this look like enough for a 5 gallon AG batch of IPA?
Advice appreciated. Also pertinent I have to brew today as its my only day off for 3 weeks and I need this batch ready by the 12th which is already cutting it close w/ the dry hopping. Meaning if I need to run the the LHBS for yeast I need to do it ASAP.
Thanks All
