Making a bopils tomorrow with some 34/70. I need to make at least two more.

I think one will be a dunkel.

The other perhaps a German pils.

Maybe another lager. Perhaps round two of baltic Porter.

Session pilsner for those hot months.

if the OG is below 1.050 it's basically session for me now

Same. Actually, since my restart in brewing, the lowest OG I've had is 1.049. And that was for a sour that I brewed for my wife.

I just dumped the yeast cake that I fermented 3 lagers with. I got my use out of a single pack of 34/70.
Pretty good value for about $4.50.

I always get a little sad on that last use. Goodbye my tiny friends!

There were a lot of friends. I was surprised how far that cake had risen after 3 fermentations. Still, the cask widge float did its job great! There was virtually no beer left after draining my last keg. Just a yeast sludge.

So did you just drain and refill each time? I have wanted to do that but never time it right.

Yup.

I've always dumped some portion of the cake out. I figured a whole cake was too much.
