I've always had trouble finding a clear guide on stepping up starters. What volumes? What pitching rates? I knew you could do it on Mr. Malty, but it takes some toying with the calculator.
Fortunately, Jamil and Chris White's new book Yeast has a great table for figuring out the correct steps. Jamil gave me permission to publish it on my blog. I recreated a portion (the most relevant portion) of it in Excel and even added some pretty formatting.
Here it is: How to Step up a Yeast Starter
The video explains the table and gives an example "step-up."
A couple of the other yeast threads I've posted have helped HBTers so I put those links in my signature.
BTW I highly recommend you get a copy of Yeast. Cheers
