I'm brewing a heffeweizen today the JBW from the Weyermann site and in a stroke of genius/idiocy have decided to double my batch size from 20L to 40L as all I need to do is use a bigger esky for my mash for the same amount of effort. I have a wyeast 3068 activator pack smacked and ready to go for the normal sized brew but no time to do a starter.
From reading here it seems that weizens really go with a bang when they start and I am thinking of doing it two ways
1) Pitch the pack into the whole batch and hope for the best
2) Pitch the pack into 20l of wort and then feed in the other 20L then next day but this worries me as far as infection
The wort will be well oxygenated as I have an oxy cylinder at home and will oxygenate through an airstone at the end of my CFC
Any tips?
