My mistake, aye just looked and starts with 200B cells so canny

Thanks for all that advice. I'm defo going to purchase a bigger conical flash. I have a bigger container pictured here which is 2l. Can I heat up via pan and transfer to this until I have bigger flask as brewing over weekend.

Yeah, I think I'm going to go around same route and do about 0.6/0.7l starter about 24hrs before and shake as much as I can leading up to pitching

Yeah I am going to do one in the 1l flask. How long before pitching to you make one? How much DME and water would you recommend?

Hi, yeah just the 1l flask. The OG should be around 1.056 and will be around 20l of wort. Im using white labs Fruitbowl liquid yeast. As need head space in flask the most I think I can make is a 500ml Starter. Is it worth doing one or just pitch yeast as is?

I have just purchased a 1l conical flask to do starters in. But I think I should of bought the 2l one. Anyway I'm using whitelabs yeast in my next brew and want to make a starter it. Question is, is 500ml Starter to small? I also don't have a stir plate yet so will be shaking whenever I can...

Thanks for the advice

For my first attempt I've just gone for a Youngs beer starter kit so i get to know the basics.
