Hi I’m hoping to brew this imperial after summer ready for winter supping but though I’d get a bit of advice. I’ve never done a yeast starter for any of my beers and tbh I find the idea of something else to think about and prepare quite daunting as it’s something else to go wrong or another risk of infection. So I emailed MM querying what they would advise as a dry yeast to just sprinkle on the aerated wort. They’ve suggested Nottingham dry yeast and said that as it’s a big beer, the calculator ‘brewers friend’ suggests pitching at least 4 packets- is this right?? Seems excessive to me as I only pitched 2x S-04 for my other imperial stout (22litres at 8.5% abv) and this came out fine.
Any advice as always very welcome!
Dave
