This is my first time using the relatively new BRY-97 yeast. Apparently it is a real climber! Check out these pictures of the kruasen head just from a small starter.
I did a 1.5L starter at 1.036 from an 11g pack of BRY-97.
Why do a starter with dry yeast? Well I only had the one pack, and I'm shooting for a pitch rate of 1.0 M cells / mL / deg plato. This is intended for a 5.5 gallon batch of IIPA with an OG of 1.078!
