OK. I hate to be driving the knowledgeable forum nuts, but, I started a thread the other day regarding yeast starters. I am more confused than when I started. I am going to be making a Tripel which cost a fair amount of $. Therefore, I want to get this right. This will be my 3rd attempt at brewing. According to Mr. Malty, I will need to make 4.61 liters of starter using 1 smack pack of Wyeast. This for a 1.080 OG beer. This sounds huge considering the amount of yeast I used in my prior two brews (American Ale and a Cinook IPA). Is the whole 4.61 liters pitched? Or is just the slurry? Thanks for your patience.
