Hi
I'm looking at doing the recipe NRB's All Amarillo American Pale Ale mini-BIAB, the BIABacus all looks good but I did have one question.
I've ordered a 15g pack of the Safale yeast and the BIABacus doesn't appear to scale the yeast quantity.
What should I do with the yeast, my volume into fermentor is 5.5L so can I/should I save some yeast and only pitch half or what?
Is there a more 'scientific' way of me pitching the right amount of yeast?
Thanks

Hi Chesl73
From memory the 15g packets can be used for up to 23l of wort. If you wanted to you could only pitch 1/4 and save the rest for future brews. There are instructions on the packet.
Also if you want have a quick read on over and under pitching yeast.

Thanks for the info.
I've also found this website as well that Jamil Zainasheff that calculates pitching rates for you.

This tells me 2g of dried yeast for 5 litres of wort.
Your rough guide of 15g per 23L would work out around 3g so this all in the right ballpark.

A good rule of thumb used with good results is 0,75 grams per liter for batches up to 1.060 og and 1 gram per liter for og 1.060 and above this is supposed to be the pitching rates the pro use.
