I have a question that I am unclear on the answer to regarding stepping up a harvest from a bottle to make a 1.5 L starter that will contain 229B cells. After looking at previous posts on harvesting I am still unclear so I humbly seek the counsel of the group.
Should I proceed like this?
1. 100ml water/10g DME and dredges from two bottles of bells two hearted.
2. decant: new 200ml water/20g DME
3. decant: new 400ml water/40g DME
4. decant: new 800ml water/40g DME
5. decant: new 1500ml water/150g DME
Or, is this the way to do it?
1. 100g water/10g DME and dredges from three bottles of two hearted.
2. Do NOT decant: add 200g water/20g DME (I now have 300ml of wort)
3. Do NOT decant: add 400g water/40g DME (I now have 700ml of wort)
4. Do NOT decant: add 800g water/40g DME (I now have 1500ml of wort)
Or, do I have it completely wrong? Thanks in advance for any help.
