Need your help guys. I have harvested some yeast from a previous batch, which was about a month ago. I used the harvesting yeast illutstrated method from bernie brewer. I produced 4pints jars that have a nice slurry of yeast in each.
Anyway i am making a 10g batch on saturday which will be fermented in 2 carboys. I was planning on making a 2l starter to be split, but i think it wont be enough. Unfortanetly i will only have enough dme to make a 3L starter. I only have 3cups of dme. Thats the right amount? 1 cup per liter? So here are my questions. Will 3L starter be enough? If so since i have 2 1gallon jugs should i just make a 1.5 L in each? Also if 3 L is enough should i add the slurry from 2pints, 1 into each 1g jug? I hope this makes since. I am planning on making the starter tomorrow afternoon and then pitching the whole thing around 24hr later, if my brew session ends around then. The yeast is 1056 and im making an ale with an OG of 1.048 or so. Thx in advance.
