The Mr.malty calculator says for an 11 gallon ale (OG 1.048) with yeast that is one month from production you need 2 vials and a 4.5 liter starter. Does that seem excessive to anyone?
I am going to do a 10 gallon batch and was wondering if I can just use one vile of yeast and make a starter? Also, how much starter will I need?

Also, do I need to step this starter up, or just dump it on 2 liters and let it go?
are you guys fermenting all 10 gallons together or do you split your wort (and yeast) into two carboys/buckets? If splitting is there any scientific method to splitting the yeast up or do you just 'eyeball it'?
