NOTE: With the economy as it is, the HBD is struggling to
meet its meager operating expenses of approximately $3400
per year. If less than half of those currently directly
subscribed to the HBD sent in a mere $5.00, the HBD would
be able to easily meet its annual expenses, with room to
spare for next year. Please consider it.

As always, donors and donations are publicly acknowledged
and accounted for on the HBD web page. THank you

Some good info from Don on pitching rates.

I had not heard of George Fix's recommended rate of 750,000 cells per ml
per degree plato ... but had read several times a recommended rate of
1,000,000 cells per ml per degree plato, 33% more than Dr. Fix recommends.

The 1m rate makes it really easy to figure out how many cells you need.
Just take the right part of the OG without the decimal place, and multiply
times the number of gallons. Take the original question of the rate for 1
gallon of a 1.053 ale: By the calculation it would be
1,000,000 * 3786 * 13.25 = 50,164,500 cells; by the simple formula it
would be 53,000,000 ... close enough.

OG times gallons = # cells to pitch (double it for lagers)
