Howdy I've never used liquid yeast before, so I thought I'd give it a go. The packet says for 5 gallons. I haven't done much farming before (once only, bout 5 years ago with dry yeast slurry)
I've got a double batch to ferment. 44litres of hefeweizen.
To get more yeast do I just make a starter? How big of a starter would I make? And once finished fermenting do I decant the liquid and just add the yeast.
Could I make up say 3x1.25litre bottles using DME and split the yeast from the packet into each bottle. Let ferment out then add all 3 bottles to fermenter? Would that be enough yeast?
Cheers in advance.
