I have a kit Millennium Falcon kit from AHS that I got about a month ago and I have kept the yeast in the fridge since it got here. I used HomeBrew Calculator on my smart phone and gave it the date I ordered the kit and it said that the viability of the yeast would be 75% and that I would need a 5 liter starter. That seems excessive and on top of that, I only have a 1 gal jug to do my starter. I do have a homemade stir plate that will keep 3 quarts of starter agitated.
A couple of things I am wondering about: is the 75% viability assuming that I left the yeast at room temperature the whole time and how can I make a 5 L starter with a 1 gal jug?
Then I went to Brewzor Pro BETA on my smart phone and put the same information in and it also said 75% viability but that I only needed a 1.5 qt starter. I can handle that.
Who do you believe?
