I'm about ready to brew a 5g batch of Kolsch 1.052 with washed yeast about 2 weeks. old. Calc says I need about 182B yeast which should require roughly 115ml(3.5oz) for my starter. Second calculator shows a 1L starter with 3.5oz DME with my stir plate. I'm thinking I let this run about 24 hours or so.
I"m not sure how I come up with 115ml of my washed starter? I'm using 8oz jars and it appears there is only 1oz of yeast/trub. On top of that I don' see a clean linen between yeast & trub and there is an odd cloudy darker layer on top that I haven't seen in the other couple yeasts I've washed.
