Biomass may actually be more important that cell count with regard to pitch rate.<ref>[https://www.milkthefunk.live/podcast/2019/12/6/wiki-kwiki-005-lance-shaner-of-omega-yeast-labs "Wiki Kwiki #005 - Lance Shaner of Omega Yeast Labs"] (at ~30 minutes) Milk the Funk podcast, December 2019.</ref> However this isn't easy to measure at home. Pitching rate calculators are still useful for determining correct pitch rate.
