Hey all,
I need to make a starter for a 1.6 bbl (51 gallon) batch of 1.055 ale and a similar size/gravity Kolsch.
I have a stir plate and a 10 liter pyrex to make the starter in.
I've seen mrmalty and know what Jamil's calculator recommends, but wanted to see what thoughts were here.
I was thinking of doing 9 liter starter, on the stir place, with 4 vials of White Labs (002 and 029 respectively for each starter).
Is there a way to calculate how much that will propagate up to? Is it enough?
