Hey guys, doing my first ever AG brew this weekend, was feeling pretty prepared but realised that I probably don't have enough yeast. So I'm doing an XPA, about 27.5 litres, OG at 1.055 and have one packet of Safale S04. Looking at the yeast calculator here - https://www.brewersfriend.com/yeast...50&sugarscale=sg&pitchrate=0.35&yeasttype=dry - it looks like I'm going to pull up short...
I was going to re-hydrate the yeast first but the calculator doesn't appear to account/care for that. Just wondering if it's worth making a starter from dry yeast OR should I just grab another packet (problem being I might not be able to source locally and/or in time)...?
Advice? Cheers!
