Yeast Addition

Post by D4nny74 » Mon Apr 18, 2016 12:08 pm

Hi All

Made Dennis kings “Galaxy delight” this morning and had an est OG of 1.055 but came out at 1.070, I only added 1 packet of rehydrated yeast (M44 MANGROVE), should I add another

Cheers All

you should be fine with one packet. I've fermented 1070 beers with one packet of S04 quite happily before now. I've not used M44 but I can't imagine it being that different.

The only time I used 44 it took a while to get going, so give it a reasonable amount of time.
I'm just here for the beer.
