As part of my impending BOMM Flight, (5-6 different BOMM recipes started at the same time), I want to make a 2 liter yeast starter so as to not need to buy so many "Smack Packs" of the 1388. Problem is, I'm not sure what constitutes making a yeast starter for mead. Care to help the noob out?

As a long time lover of mead, (side effect of having acted in a renaissance festival for a few years), I have been enjoying reading your recipes. I finally was able to get my basic brew kit and have produced 5 gallons of pretty decent Caramel Apple Cider so now my thoughts turn to mead...
