I bottled a batch this weekend and washed & stored the yeast. From this I collected approximately 45 ml of yeast slurry.
I plan on using this yeast to make a starter and pitch it into another batch this weekend. Using the Mrmalty calculator that everyone recommends, it suggest 108ml of slurry (did not adjust the thickness or non yeast % slider). And a starter of nearly 2 liters. This seems like an excessively large starter considering I created the original batch of beer from just a little bit of yeast in a smack pack.
Does this sound right? Should I step it up.
