Hello I have ordered 10 packs of 34/70 and can get more if needed. I will be doing 2 11.5 gallon batches and wanted to use 5 packs of yeast for each batch, rehydrated of course. Here is my dilemma, I used mr malty for my dry yeast calculations and I plan on pitching cool. This calculation has me pitching about 55 grams per 11.5 gallons. When I looked at the fermentis instructions PDF it says at 48f or 9c I need 200-300 grams per hectoliter or roughly double what I am planning to pitch ratio wise.
Now the ideal temp listed is 54 f, and the pitching rate would be okay, but 54 f is too high for me.....I'm sure commercially under pressure that temp is fine but not at my level.
Would 50 degrees be good or should I stay at the 48 range? I have good temperature control. If I do go with a lower temperature, does the rate of 80 grams for 11.5 gallons seem crazy?
This is for a 1.050 beer. Thanks
