Surra rundt på nettet etter info om gjærmengde med Lallemands New England, og kom over noe interessant fra Martin Brungard om gjærmengde i kaldgjæra lager:
"When I was researching my article on calcium requirements for yeast, I had Chris White review my paper. One of the questions that he couldn't answer was: 'Why is the pitching rate for lagers greater than for ales?' He did not know of a reason, but I ultimately came to the conclusion above. Lower replication rate at lower temperature demands more cells to ensure other organisms don't gain a significant foothold in the beer.
While you may not want to ferment a lager at ale temperature due to the potential production of undesirable by-products, it's OK to ferment a lager at lager temperature with a low cell count as long as your sanitation is very good."

Altså: Ingen grunn til å stresse med masse gjær til pilsbrygget på 10 grader - så lenge du er rimelig trygg på at vørteren og gjæringsdunken er rein nok???????? Eller er ikke Chris White's mangel på kunnskap om hvorfor det trengs mer gjær ved lave temperaturer, god nok begrunnelse?
NB! Dette er ikke et argument for at gjærmengde ikke er viktig. Det er et argument for at du kan bruke den mengden du ville bruke til en ale på 20 grader.
