I'm brewing a Belgian Triple on Sunday. OG is supposed to be 1.081. I'm using the White labs Abbey Ale yeast
I went to Mr. Malty and it calculated that if I use two vials of yeast I would need a 1.88 liter starter.
So I bought the two vials of yeast (with one vial it calculated making an even bigger starter.
From the instructions he said to add 1 gram of DME for every 10 ml of final volume. So if I made a 1.88 liter starter I would need 188 grams of DME and 1.88 liters of water.
188 grams = .4144 cups of DME
1.88 liters = 7.946 cups of water
Does this sound right?
I'm brewing on Sunday and was thinking about making my starter on Friday night. How much before does everyone else make their starters?
Thanks for the help.
