Sure! I have brewed 40 liter batches with it. Just follow the instructions for rehydrating it right. Often I make a "same-day starter" by boiling some of the first runnings and cooling them down while I am still busy with sparging the main portion. Dump the yeast in that, and by the time you are ready to pitch, you have an active and potent starter. You should see activity within 2-4 hours of pitching! > jeg regner med at høste gæren fra mit bryg, og bruge det til mit næste, > men hvordan opbevarer jeg den, og er der noget særligt man skal være > opmærksomt på når man høster. Yes, be awfully sure that everything is properly clean and sanitized! Don't keep it too long! Check the beer you took the yeast from, if it shows any hints of infection, don't use the yeast. Good luck! -H -- Heikki Levanto "In Murphy We Turst" heikki (at) lsd (dot) dk
