Hey all
I just picked up a vial of Whitelab Irish Ale yeast and would like to split the contents into two starters, one for now and one to store for a few months. I have only used dry yeast to this point and have never I made a starter before.
I am pretty sure of the procedure for the starter but my question is about the portion I want to save for later. Should I let this portion sit at room temp same as the one I want to use now or can I put it in the fridge right away.
Will splitting the contents be enough for two 5 gal brews.
Appreciate any help, thanks.
