First time using liquid yeast and I didn’t have enough DME to make a starter... I’m positive the OG will be over 1.050, which would mean I need a starter or two bags of PurePitch... I have neither. The beer is “Great Lakes Pale Ale”. OG of 1.057, FG of 1.014. The recipe itself called for 1lb if DME plus 6lbs if LME.
If I use one bag, then transfer it to a secondary fermenter after around 1.5-2 weeks, would using a second bag of PurePitch do anything positive for my brew to makeup for not having a starter nor a second bag on hand? There are no stores around me that sell homebrew gear unfortunately.
Cheers.
Edit : I used an dry yeast I had and rehydrated it. I had yet another mishap, my wort cooler sprung a leak while cooling and added nearly a half gallon of unsanitized hose water... D: Who knows how this batch will turn out now.
