Question: Using Gigayeast Vermont IPA yeast for the first time this weekend. I hear it doesn't finish very low. Stalls about 1.018 to maybe 1.016. I'd be happy with 1.016, but was just curious if you think a starter would help? I know you really don't need them with this yeast, just hoping it doesn't stall at 1.02

I haven't used Giga Vermont, but I've used Yeast Bay Vermont and it has pretty consistently hit 1.011-1.010 with a normal mash, mid 60's fermentation, and pitching a healthy starter.

My IIPA with the Vermont IIPA yeast finished at 1.014. I made a starter because I was fermenting in the low 60s and wanted a healthy start.

I wasn't happy with it. It is a huge amount of yeast in the pitch pack but finished high. Wasn't worth the extra money for me.
