Pitched a wyeast smack pack into my belgian witbier at 70° F no starter. It has been fermenting for two days at 68°F. O.G. was 1.042. I haven't taken any gravity readings yet. I'm not concerned about the fermentation but there's about a 4 inch yeast cake on the bottom of my carboy. Yet the total volume of the carboy is still only 5 gallons. Am I only going to end up with like 3 1/2 gallons of beer? Why so much yeast?
