Newbie question here, but I'm researching making my first starter and it arose. Using Mr. Malty's guide I am going to need around 2.18 liters of starter from liquid yeast for my 1.052 gravity ale. Is this pitched right in to the fermenter on top of the 5.5 gallons (around) of wort I will generate? I'm using a standard bucket style fermenter with a blow off tube, but this seems like it would leave very little head space.
