Each vial of White Labs liquid yeast is designed to be used directly in 5 gallons hence the term "pitchable yeast." Each vial is equivalent in cell count to a pint starter or 75-150 billion cells. One vial will usually start fermentation in 5 gallons in 5-15 hours at 70°F. If a faster start is desired or if initial gravity is over 1.070 we recommend a 1-2 pint starter be made.
