I've never made a yeast starter before, having brewed only ales with pretty moderate gravity. However, this week I'm planning on brewing 2-3 batches. I'm doing pale ales with different hop additions, so the yeast can be the same across the board.
My plan is to make a starter now, and use that for all three batches to avoid buying yeast packs for each. Whats the best way to go about it? Is there a certain amount of wort I should start with to be able to do all 3 batches over the course of the week? How much should I pitch into each batch? I'm using a Wyeast smack pack with American Ale II.
