Last batch 2 pks of Novalager was used for the first time.
Novalager won't be re-pitched from this batch. Next two batches
will be W-34/70 and Wyeast 2112. I intend to use and re-pitch
Novalager, but not until another 3 batches.
The batch found below was OG 1.038 & FG 1.008, bottled about day 12.
Bottles from this batch won't be ready for drinking rotation in about a month or two.
Although an early test taste will be done in about 3 weeks.
Pitch rate calculator was too close for comfort for one pack, so two were used.
One pack would probably be fine under perfect storage conditions. There is no way
of knowing what storage conditions the yeast had from being manufactured to my fridge.
