A 2.5+ gallon starter according to Mr. Malty for a 5.5 gallon, 1.060 SG Lager?
Do any homebrewers pitch at these rates?

I don't. I make a low grav lager and use the cake for the big lager, usually with enough left to save.A 2.5+ gallon starter according to Mr. Malty for a 5.5 gallon, 1.060 SG Lager?

According to the wyeast website with a .375gallon starter and a stir plate my final pitch rate is 13.55 million cells/mL.
Also according to their sit you need between 12million and 18million for a cold pitch at my starting gravity at wort size.
I've done lagers in that range with a single packet of saflager. I pitch warm (~70F) and cool the wort as soon as there is any sign of fermentation.

So I went .25L on stir plate @ room temp, chilled and decanted.
Stepped up another .75L
Is that liters, or gallons?
