So my most recent brew was a Stone Ruination clone. I used WLP007 as suggested in Mitch Steele’s book as an alternative to their proprietary house strain. I made a 1.5L starter as the yeast I had was relatively fresh. Pitched at 66* into 5g of 1.075 wort. A week later I racked it off the yeast so I could harvest it and WOW was there a lot of yeast! After settling down there is just under 1/2 gallon of yeast and this is highly flocculant stuff so it’s a dense 1/2 gallon. This is only my second time harvesting yeast so I wasn’t sure if this was a normal amount. My first time was WLP820 Oktobertfest which was about 1/8th of a gallon all settled so it’s a difference of 4 times as much growth.
Just wondering if that’s normal growth or if there is a large amount of trub in there that I need to consider when measuring it out for pitching into future brews.
