Is there someone who can explain how to use this calculator? I specifically need help with:
Target Pitch Rate: Choosing from the drop down box. How do I choose the correct one?
Cell Density: Do I use the default?
Yeast Pitch Rate: Always use •Middle of the road Pro Brewer 0.75 (ale) for O.G. less than 1.060?
Growth Model and Aeration: Can someone explain this drop down box?
I should have looked at this before making my yeast starter. My first brew is Thursday. For the yeast starter I used 1 quart of water and 3.5 ounces of LME. The recipe calls for 1.043 O.G. and I got a 1.038 from a refractometer reading. Is this ok? The yeast starter is fermenting at 72 degrees right now.
Thanks for any help in advance. I really want my first brew to be a success.
