I plan on brewing my first 2 lager batches this weekend. I have 2 vials of WLP yeast (Pilsner yeast and German Lager) that are past their viability date (Oct 2).
I have the option of a 2 and 1 liter flask alternating time on the stirplate, or using two 1 gallon wine jugs for possibly 3 liter starters. If I stick to low gravity (between 4-6% alcohol) recipes, do you foresee me still having issues with diacytel or other fermentation related issues. Will it also be an issue if I make the starters tonight and brew saturday?
