I'm brewing a dunkelweizen on Saturday and I'd like to do my first starter for it. When should I start the starter so that it's ready to pitch?
Also what is the best process to use? Mr. Malty is giving me a starter size that is much bigger than any vessel I have. I'm planning on using a growler, but should I just go ahead and fill it a little above halfway (about 1.25-1.5L)?
I will not be using a stirplate, so do I just give it a "swish" or shake everyday? And then is it best to decant the beer before pitching, or is that considered a minute amount of oxidized beer to put in the fermenter?
Sorry for all the questions, but this is my first starter.
