So I am going to do a yeast starter for an AB clone tonight that I want to brew next week. I have heard people talking about feeding your starters to continue to grow more yeast for bigger beers or more beer. I am going to be brewing a 7.5 gallon batch using wlp007. I was thinking off starting off with about a 500ml starter and then feeding it maybe Monday or Sunday night. i have read that you want to cold crash the starter after a few days in then dump off some of the excess wort and then dump more fresh wort in to give more sugars. I have also read that you can (if you have a big enough container for your starter) dump more fresh wort on top of the old.
Any thoughts on this? Also, I would just continue to stir plate away the whole time correct?
Thanks!
