Hey,
I brewed a 15 gallon beer on December 23rd using WLP001. I fermented it for 14 days, crashed it the fermenter for 8 days at 34. On January 14, I collected and washed four 1quart mason jars of yeast (during transfer to serving kegs). After washing, the first 2 inches of the 6 inches in each jar was good yeast. This is about 33% of a quart. The starter tool in beersmith says I need .46 liter slurry and no starter.
I am brewing a 15 gallon, 1.048 beer this Saturday and have some questions.
What date should I use for slurry when using the viability section of the beersmith starter (what initiates the collected slurry's born on date)?
Do I need a starter at all?
Input will be appreciated.
