Batch VolumeEnter your batch size
Original Gravity [SG]Enter the specific gravity of your wort
Optimal Pitching Rate [million/ml]Pitching yeast at the proper rate significantly reduces the lag time before active fermentation begins, promotes complete fermentation, reduces the risk of infection, and improves the overall quality of your beer
Yeast Cells needed [billions]Number of yeast cells needed to achieve optimal pitching rate
Liquid Yeast Properties
Calculate Viability from Date
Initial Cell Count [billions]Enter the initial cell count. A White Labs vial or Wyeast smackpack, each contain approximately 100 billion cells. If pitching multiple vials or smackpacks enter the number of cells accordingly
Production DateChoose a date. For White Labs vials, the production date is 4 months prior to the 'Best Before' date. For Wyeast packs enter the date on the package
Viability %This number is valid only for yeast that has been stored under continuous refrigeration.
Viable Cell Count [billions]Estimated number of viable yeast cells
