I pitched a little under 3 gm of dry Voss today in 10 gallons at ~100df. It was pushing CO2 in a 1/2 gallon blow off bucket in about 4 hours

that is crazy. so are you buying lallemand 11g packs? do you just measure out 3gm and vacuum seal the pack up or something? with those pitching rates this is an incredibly economical yeast. I'd have to heat the fermentation freezer for sure.

That's exactly what I did. The last couple batches I started around 100df and fermented at around 72df ambient with no added heat. Seemed to work OK. I was using about 1 lb of grain for a mini mash when I would reserve part of a starter for the next batch. This makes brewing with almost no planning easier at my place

not following the second half of your post. I thought you were just pitching dry yeast straight in to your primary? what is the starter for?

I was also wondering about that.

It's easier to get more out of that dried KV than when I harvest different yeast from a starter to use it again.

Well this last batch stalled on me. Pitched around 100df and left it during Thanksgiving for 5 days. I thought it had finished before we left. Took a gravity and it had dropped from around 1.050 to 1.030. I covered the fermenter and put a 30w heating pad on it. It started up again and I think it's ready to keg. I guess 72df ambient is too cool for this yeast sometimes
