I am soon to brew my first 10 gallon batch, and I need to obviously double my starter size for the most part.
I have been growing my starters in 1/2 gallon growlers, and I would like to know the best way to make a ~1 gallon starter between 2 growlers.
Would I be better of to make a ~2 liter starter in one growler, and once that starter has been on the stir plate for about 24 hours pour half into my second growler and then step each starter up again to ~2 liters?
FWIW, I only have 1 stir plate right now. My LHBS wants a good chunk of change for a 5000 liter flask.
