Hey guys, so I pretty much only use 04 and 05, and I personally enjoy 05 more. Being a homebrewer without all of the fancy equipment, I can't cold crash, or control fermentation temp 100%, both of which I feel would make the 04 better than the 05.
Anyways, I've never pitched more than a single packet of 05, and when I asked a craft brewer here in Sydney, he said he pitches less and higher fermentation temps for the 05 and has good results. What are the biggest changes in flavour by using a higher pitch rate? And is this something you guys fret about? I find my beers are pretty damn good, but I'm ready to go to the next level. I'm actually entered into a tournament through Batch here in Sydney, so we shall see!
Cheers
