I am a few brews in, and thinking of washing yeast. This probably means I need to start making starters (I have read that if you let the washed yeast sit more than a week you should make a starter...)
In some threads, you brewers discuss things like making "a 2 liter" starter. What exactly does this mean? I understand the volume part, but what is the content? Is it 2 liters of simple wort with the beginning yeast put in? It it 2 liters of actual yeast? (that seems like a sh*t ton of yeast!). I know 2 liters is not a magic number, Im only using it as an example.
I love beer and learning about how to make better beer :rockin:
