Make a small extract batch instead!
I am planning on making a 10 gallon AG tripel this weekend, and instead of building up a starter a few times, it hit me yesterday that I should just make a small batch (2.5 gallons) and pitch the tripel on the yeast cake. I made a belgian golden ale with some DME, hops and sugar I had leftover. Mr. Malty says I should pitch 1.2 packs of yeast, so I am underpitching a little. But just a little.
I get to pitch enough yeast, I don't have to use any DME on beer I would throw out, and I get 2.5 gallons extra beer!
