Amount of Yeast

[thebaron1974]

Here's a question about fermentation. I'm doing my first recipe which called for Nottingham Beer yeast (Lallemand Nottingham Beer Yeast - Get Er Brewed). It comes in a packet but I'm assuming I don't use the whole packet? Maybe I do just chuck it in but wanted to check!

If your doing anything north of 20L, chuck the whole packet in.

This is the thing I'm only doing 5 litre brews at the moment due to space issues!

Use this yeast calc. Notice it has a dry yeast tab. Iirc its something like 3g of yeast for 5L
