Can I culture a yeast starter from....?

[Chookers]

Yob, I used this formula from 'The Complete Guide to Home Brewing in Australia by Laurie Strachan'

For 22.5L of a wort 1.045 gravity

H = B x 9.3 div A

Where H is the required quantity of hops in grams, B is the required final IBU level and A is the AAU rating of the hops. This formula assumes a boil of 60mins.

Les the Weizguy.. thanks for those name I'll go check the out.. I hope Dan Murphs has them.. I need to broaden my palate and try these wheaty beers..

What if you cube?

you mean how does it change the formula? I cant say as the book only seems to cater for batches of 22.5L.. I suppose one way would be to divide the answer by 22.5 and multiply it by your batch size. But I'm sure there are better more accurate calculators out there for working out hop amounts.

I have no idea how close my one and only BIAB comes to my calculated level.. I don't know what level IBU taste like.. if I had a commercial beer ibu to compare it to, that wold give me a clearer understanding of where I stand.

has anyone used this yeast Saflager W-34/70 if so what kind of results did you get and would you recommend it?

Tried the redback, I really did NOT like it one bit.. it was nasty.. Im hoping those German ones taste better.. There wasn't a great selection at the bottle shop, but I got Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen, and Weihenstephan Hefe.

just buy some w3068, same yeast strain

pist, I will buy the yeast, I think I have given up on culturing it from these beers.. I just bought the beer to taste it, so I can understand the flavour profile of this style a bit better.

About the same if you sphere

The 2 you mentioned in bold are excellent.
