I went to Mr. Malty and for the type of beer that I am brewing it says that I should have a 1.6 quart starter.
My OG should be 1.051. I am brewing 5 gallons.
So, my question is this. How much malt and how much water should I boil to end up with the 1.6 quarts? I do not know the ratio of malt to water to get a good starter for this brew.
John Palmer says a 1/2 cup of DME for a pint of water to get an OG of 1.040, but I am looking for 1.051.
Does everyone just go with the standard recipe above for most of their beers?
Thanks guys.
