Hey all.
Still kinda new to yeast harvesting, starters, etc. (Can't believe i waited this long!! Such a money saver!!)
Anyways... i got a big 'ole 5L flask coming soon.
Here's my question:
Can i start with a fresh pack of yeast (say, Imperial which is my go-to) and immediatley make a large 5L starter? Or do i need to step it up? Make a 2L, then 4L, etc.?
Also, does it make a difference if i use a 'double pack' vs. a white labs single pack? (100 vs. 200 billion cells to start).
Thanks all!!
