Hi All,
Happy Easter!
I have a quick question. I will brew an IPA by the end of April and I have some questions about the right amount of yeast pitching.
I am planning to make around 22-23 litres of IPA beer and I am not sure if I should use to sachets of dry Fermentis safale us- 05 of 11.5 grams each or just one. On the sachet packet is saying that one is enought for 20-30 litres but on the yeast pitch calculator is saying to use 2 and even doing a starter.
I was considering doing a starter with one of the sachets and the other one to add it directly to the fermenter (using therefore 2 sachets). But I am afraid of over pitching.
In the past I always added just one sachet and it was fine. However, last time I had a problem with a lager and a liquid yeast on which I under pitched and now I always look on the yeast calculator to verify.
I would kindly appreciate if you could let me know what would you do.
Thank you in advance and happy easter again,
Angel
