Since my closest HomeBrew Store is now nearly 40mins away, I've been buying & brewing pretty much exclusively with dry yeast ordered from Amazon. However, for some brews I'll make the drive for fresh White Labs.
Making a 4L starter of WLP500 for my annual New Years Day Belgian Triple Brew Day. (10gal)
BeerSmith says I need 557 Billion - the 4L starter will give me 784 Billion. When using liquid yeast, I've been over building my starters pretty significantly. I find my beers are cleaner and attenuate better with big starters. Gonna run this slow at ~63degs for the first 96hrs and then bump up two degrees every day until 70degs. I'll let it sit on the cake for nearly 30 days.
