OK, so I've constructed a DIY stir plate, purchased a 2000 ml erlenmyerr and stir bar, and it all works.
I'm going to brew a begian(extract kit) this Friday with a starting gravity of 1.052; it comes with a Wyeast smack pack.
I've read a bunch on this thread and others and have seen the yeast starter calculators, BUT, I'm confused as to the volume of water I need.
Should I use 1000 ml of water or 2000ml? It seems to me that more water would just call for more DME, so the ratio of DME/concentration to water would remain the same, so does it make a difference?
Thanks for everone's help,
Greg
