Hi all, quick and hopefully easy question.
I'm brewing a 1.052 lager on Sunday, and am working to build up to the required yeast cell count I need.
My question is, when stepping up a starter, do you have to refrigerate and decant the first step, or can you boil, cool and pour in the second step right on top of it? I'd like to brew this on Sunday afternoon, and I don't think I'll make that deadline if the 2L starter I made last night has to cool before I decant and add the 1.5L additional step up.
Thanks!
