I'd like to consider myself an experienced extract/partial mash brewer. I have a few all grain batches under my belt, until now I have ignored the notion of starters, really don't know why. I always assumed a smack pack should cover it. That being said, I now understand the importance. I made a stir plate using info posted here (thank you by the way). My question is this: I have a 2L flask, my starting gravity calls for a 3L starter. I have come across different info but am still a little confused. Do I make a 2L starter, allow it to fully cycle, decant it, then ad 1L allow it to also fully ferment, decant, then pitch that slurry? Am I just screwed for getting too small of a flask? This whole process is new to me, so any info/advice would be greatly appreciated.
