Yet another new hotness... http://www.brewersfriend.com/yeast-pitch-rate-and-starter-calculator/ Looks pretty good, and they also have a new stir plate formula.
I'm so new at brewing, i haven't paid ANY attention to my numbers... Which i know is very important, on when to bottle, add stuff, etc... I have been making sure to mash at certain degrees, sparge, and pitch... and my beers taste good... But i'd like to learn more about what all the other numbers mean.. I brewed Feb 16th... moved to secondary Feb 24th.. i know, i know, i've been learning and should leave it in primary the whole time, or wait at least two weeks to move to seconday, but i needed my 5 gal carboy.. anyways, i never took any readings til today... specific gravity is 1.08 ? which means what to me ? and its okay to talk to me like i'm in 3rd grade, because this part, ( the most important part ) is foreign to me..
Not very robust. Given: 'Yeast Pitch Rate' calculator indicates the need for a STARTER. Enter a STARTER gravity < 1 Program returns: DME Required:-0.9 oz, -25.7 g From there...the 'Growth Rate 0.3' and 'Assumed Inoculation Rate: 133.3M cells/mL' takes over and claims: Starter meets desired pitching rate. Cervesarius Emptor!
