I'm getting ready to make a starter and looked at three different sources. Mr Malty calls for 1 liter of starter with 2 yeast packs (too expensive), YeastCalc calls for 1.9 liters with 1 pack (too big for my flask, but I just ordered a 3000ml) and BeerSmith 2.0 calls for a .53 liter starter with one pack. That one doesn't seem right.
Details:
Yeast date 11/15/11
Volume 5.5 gallons
OG 1.073
What is your opinion on the disparity above?
