Well brew day got pushed back to next week! So I am thinking if making a starter,but I've never made one. I got a pretty good idea of what to do how big if a starter should I do for 10 gal? Going to split into 2 carboys
I love Denny's Favorite 50 (Wyeast 1450) for my oatmeal stout. It's perfect, as it gives a rich (even luscious) mouthfeel, but the beer isn't underattenuated. It really enhances the silkiness of the oats in my opinion.
Four packages for 10 gallons is probably enough, but I'd check mrmalty.com. Or 2 2 liter starters.
Thanks! I was gonna mention that, but...you know....
Two, 2l starters? Do u own stock in an Erlenmeyer company, or is there an easier way to house the starters? I'm curious, what do u keep your starters in? Do you do two separate starters often, or step them up? Stirplates as well, or just a shake? Yooper, I respect your knowledge and you seem to have a good system going on so I am curious as to your approach here.
Also think a mason jar will be ideal to make a starter in?
Exactly! Was gonna make his recipe but just went with rounded numbers! And he's a packer fan! Lol! My bears are in trouble today!
You'll need a big mason jar.
Her recipe. And she's a packer fan.

No mason jar I've seen can hold a 2L yeast starter. Most people use 2L (or bigger) Erlenmeyer flasks. But if you have one of those big pickle jars or an apple juice jug or something like that, you'll be fine (depending on the volume of starter one of those calculators tells you to make).
