The problem is, its not dead. The smack pack swelled. It took 3 days, but it swelled. I have 'renewed' yeast thats been dormant for over 12 months no problem. Mr. Malty etc always just gave 1% viability after a certain amount of time. Cant remember what though.yeastcalc said:Hi mckenry, the -76 means that is below 0, so all the yeast is dead. I suppose i should change it so it does not show negative values because its a bit confusing
I asked you before but maybe you missed the post. Are you able to share the equations? If not it's OK, but I know my impiricle equations are not ideal. Great work, by the way.yeastcalc said:hi mckenry, i cross referenced the data with brewers friend and mrmalty viability calculators and it seems they are ok, the old flash calculator must use a different formula. the Kai Troister calculations are there(Braukaiser)
I didnt put the innoculation rate due to lack of space, maybe i figure out a way to put it there
Yob i didnt contact jamil since i managed to find the formulas
thanks for your helkp guys

Why did you remove the inoculation rate? I thought having that was a great idea - now I dont know if I'm in the 25-100mill/mL range.
Why is the Kai Troester calculation missing? I thought these were data based on evidence rather than extrapolation of older accepted calculators?
Theres also a change in the viability calculation. Try dec 3 2013 in each. The old calc gives me 39%, the new one 18.6% - which changes the steps (if I could see the health and vitality calc)
So, Basically, I want to do an ale, of 40L at 1.058 - the old calculator gives me nice innoculation rates to keep my steps in check. The new one doesnt, so I can in theory believe that a 3L starter would be good, yet the innoculation rate at 3L is only 13mill/mL according to the old calculator.
I appreciate your effort, dont get me wrong, just want to know some whys.
Cheers, mckenry
Thanks for that.Mardoo said:
