disclaimer. (DONT SHOOT THE NEWBIE) I know this has been visited in other forums and threads but would like to ask a unique version of this questions. I want to make sure I understand the process properly. I need to learn about the proper amount of slurry to collect and pitch.
I am brewing 1 bbl batched of Kolsch. After the great help from the other thread regarding cold crashing, I have collected the yeast from the bottom of the conical. I opened the butterfly valve and allowed the clumps of yeast to fall out until it turned to a slurry. I collected approximately 3/4 of a growler of yeast slurry from the conical. I would estimate the slurry to be more of a medium thickness slurry.
My OG is around 1.052 for the beer I am brewing. I am targeting batched of 35 gallons to accommodate some waste. Based on the information I have been able to find, I believe I need to around 3/4 of a liter of slurry into the wort for fermentation. Since I am new to repitching yeast from a slurry, does this sound like an appropriate amount?
