Hi Everyone,
After a few years of wanting to try out home brewing I have finally got around to it and am currently dry hopping my first brew, the Cloud 9 IPA all grain kit from The Malt Miller. I’ve gone down the all-in-one route with a Brew Monk 30l system. I’ve found the advice available on the forum invaluable in getting started so I am hoping I can get some help for my second brew.
I am planning an Vienna/amber lager loosely based on a Brooklyn Lager recipe I found in the Brew Your Own Big Book of Clone Recipes. I was going to use two pack of Mangrove Jacks M84 yeast but on putting the recipe into the Brewfather app it seemed like this wasn’t going to be enough and the app recommended using 4 packs. I don’t want to go down the route of making starters yet so have bought another two packs.
Does using four packs seem too much for a 19l batch? Is there any downside to putting it all in (other than the cost) just to be on the safe side?
Thanks in advance!!!
