## Yeast Propagation — Cost Correction (Apr 1, 2026)
|
||
|
||
### Old Practice (wasteful)
|
||
- 110 gal: 7.5 lbs DME propagation + brick yeast = ~$41.50/batch
|
||
- 70 gal: 3.5 lbs DME propagation + brick yeast
|
||
- Pitch rate was still borderline under
|
||
|
||
### New Practice (optimal)
|
||
- Direct pitch from brick: 75–100g per 110 gal batch
|
||
- 100g from 500g brick = 5 batches = $33/batch yeast
|
||
- Zero DME cost for propagation
|
||
- Proper pitch rate achieved
|
||
|
||
### Key Numbers (LD Carlson prices)
|
||
| Item | Price |
|
||
|---|---|
|
||
| DME Briess 50 lb | $110.00 |
|
||
| Nottingham brick 500g | $165.00 |
|
||
| Nottingham satchel 11g | $3.59 (MoreBeer) |
|
||
|
||
### Realization
|
||
- Full propagation (10 lb DME) costs nearly as much as direct pitch from brick
|
||
- Simple propagation (1 lb DME) saves only ~$7/batch vs direct pitch
|
||
- Underpitching + DME propagation was the worst of all worlds: expensive AND underpitched
|
||
- Brick direct pitch is the move for 3.5 bbl Nottingham batches
