When brewing beer, it’s important to get your measurements just right. If you’re wondering how much yeast you need for 2 gallons of beer, the answer depends on whether you’re making an ale or a lager. Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll need:
For Ales:
0.007 fresh liquid yeast packs or vials per gallon
Multiply this by the gravity point of your beer
For 2 gallons of beer, you’ll need 0.014 packs or vials for a gravity point of 2.0
For a gravity point of 1.050, you’ll need 0.035 packs or vials for 2 gallons
For Lagers:
0.015 fresh liquid yeast packs or vials per gallon
Multiply this by the gravity point of your beer
For 2 gallons of beer, you’ll need 0.03 packs or vials for a gravity point of 2.0
For a gravity point of 1.050, you’ll need 0.075 packs or vials for 2 gallons
Remember, these are just general guidelines and the amount of yeast you need may vary based on the specific beer you’re brewing. It’s always a good idea to consult a recipe or an experienced brewer for more information.
