Hi all!
I use the BIAB method to brew 3 gallon batches (so not full 5/6 gallon batches. My setup isn’t scaled up to that yet). I typically use liquid yeast. I’ve heard a couple opinions on how much of the liquid yeast pack to use:
1. Use the whole pack. It’s pretty much impossible to over-pitch yeast.
2. Use about half to two-thirds of the pack.
Just curious what other 3 gallon BIAB brewers do. I typically pitch the whole pack but my most recent brew finished at 1.015 when it was supposed to have an FG of 1.021 (my OG was 1.066). My last few batches have had similar results with the FG. So I’m wondering if I need to pitch less yeast.
Cheers
Joey
