I have a bit of a dilemma... I just got hired as a lab tech in a brewery with a background in biology but I have no large scale production experience in brewing. I'm unsure how to grow up enough yeast for a 24 bbl system, but I have some ideas. My plan for one of our ales is to make 4 separate 2L starters with 1 vial of white labs liquid yeast each, (~100 billion cells) letting those propagate for 12-18 hours, then pitching these into a larger vessel (the largest vessel we have that isn't a fermenter is 45L, is this okay?) letting that propagate and aerate and then pitch it into our 24 bbl system. With an OG of 1.038 my final cell count needs to be some 20 trillion cells. Is there anyway to know how much these will multiply? Will I be underpitching with this method? HELP!
Thank you!
Thank you!
