My bet is water. I use distilled water. Extract adds sufficient minerals for yeast. Add a bit of nutrients for good measure. Good luck.

thanks.

mrmalty site says 10% viable;
yeastcalc says 45% viable.

That is a big difference. Is this just a wild a** guess, or what?

dbsmith,
thanks, very good idea. Another option would be to decrease/increase the value of LAP based on the personal system. It is a bit of a guess anyway. :-)
