I've been planning for a week now to make two batches of brew simultaneously. one batch will be a hef and the other batch will be apfelwein. I really wanted to use the same yeast strain wlp300 and pitch it into both.
Because of work and school restricting my time i wont have a free afternoon for about ten days other than tomorrow. I made the quick decision to make tomorrow a brew day and I got my single vial of yeast into a starter for the night.
Now I was planning on growing this vial so that i can pitch it into both of these batches but i don't think i'll have large enough yeast numbers to actually accomplish this task (pitching into 2- 5gallon batches).The starter that I made was 1/2 cup dme to 2 cups water.
I just really wanted to get the hef started tomorrow since it only takes a few weeks anyways.
