I am brewing a doppelbock with an OG of ~1.084. According to Mr Malty, i need about 2 yeast vials and to make a 4.22 liter starter for the beer.
What I did was make a 1600 ml starter with 1 vial, let it ferment out, and then made a 1 gallon starter and pitched the yeast from first starter into the gallon starter.
Does anyone else have experience with this? This is my first lager and Im not sure if this will be enough yeast. Im brewing saturday and have time to make a bigger starter if needed.
