I will soon be brewing my first big 1.092-3 beer. Jamil's MrMalty says that If I want to use 2 vials I need a 2.5-3 liter starter. Does that mean that I just need to pitch both vials in on 2.5 liter's of 1.040 wort?
If so, I have a 1000ml and a 2000ml flask. Can I pitch the yeast into the 2.5-3 liters of wort and then split it up between the 1 and 2 liter flasks?
I've been running my starter the morning before my brew, and by late that night when fermentation is going gang busters cold crashing it and then decanting and allowing to warm back up to room temperature.
For a big beer, should I let the starter ferment longer before cold crashing?
thanks for your help.
