My first time using the yeast and I have a 1.060 ESB grain recipe, but with a lot of late hops. I’m filling a 13.5 gallon keg with a couple batches and first time using a kveik yeast. First two < 4 gallon batches are headed for a 5 and 2.5 G corny kegs, I’m going to run 3 < 4G batches for the big keg and then top it off from a post from the corny.
I realize that’s a lot of details but here comes the question: the first two batches wereGoing for a few days at 73f and then I cranked it up to 90f for the last 10 points. For the last three, I was thinking I’d use the yeast cakes to “lager” at around the 73. Does it make sense to over-pitch if I’m going for a cleaner profile at the lower temp?
