Splitting and storing dry yeast ...

Post #1 made 12 years ago
I've got some grain and time left over, so was going to do a mini brew tonight; a max. of 8 or so litres.

My Fermentis lager yeast is an 11g sachet that will do up 23 litres, so my question is if I split the amount and use just half tonight, how can I store the remainder and how long for so I can use it again ... ?

Cheers,
G

Hi there Gyro,

In the Fermentis instructions they say that opened sachets should be stored at 4 C and used within 7 days :dunno:.

Maybe do another brew next week :)

if you look on the manufacturers web site, the lager yeast must be used at a dosage of :
80 to 120 g/hl for pitching at 12C – 15C. Increase dosage for pitching below 12C, up to 200 to
300 g/hl at 9C.
i use two sachets for a 23 liter batch fermented at 10C.
Cube:
fermenter: Sourdough Spelt Ale, Classic Lambic, Oud Brune, Barrel Aged Belgian Dubbel
Kegs: Bob's Black IPA, Blanc Blond, Soda...
to be brewed:
