ok thanks. i think i will get the 2000 ml Erlenmeyer and will do the starters separately 2 liters for triple and 1.5 liters for the dubbel, im affraid doing it in a normal jar or a plastic jar because of infection, i will also buy PBW for sanitation. Tomorrow or in 2 days i will try to do the...

Hello, unfortunately i couldn't find a Erlenmeyer glass larger than 2000 ml, only with an order and the time would be 2-3 weeks. What happens if i make only 2 liters of starter ? Or can i use something else ?

ok. thank you so much, and to the everyone who answered to my questions. in 7-8 days i will brew it, until there i will still be ok with 3 liters starter ? anyway i will keep you posted how the beers will go. also in what should i make the starter ? i was thinking at a big water bottle of 5...

so if im going to use a stir plate, and make a 3 litters starter (1040 OG), using 2 packs of wyeast that are produced on 12th May and 1/2 tsp. of yeast nutrient, ahd ferment it for 24 hours, i will be ok ? will i be able to obtain an attenuation of at least 85% (for 2 beers of 9.5 liters each...

i will build my own stir plate. but what method is more accurate ? c white or braukaiser ? because its a big difference between them . according to braukaiser i could make it in 1 step and with c white in 2 steps (using a stir plate) without i would need 3 steps.

thanks. this calculator gives me other datas than http://www.yeastcalc.co/yeast-pitch-rate-and-starter-calculator

thanks. but i was wondering if i can make 1 starter for 2 beers, each one 2.5 gallons (total 5 gallons), i have 2 packs of yeast. OG: 1072 and 1087 if i make 1 starter, and in the final i split it in 2, and pour half in one beer and half in the other beer, its ok ?

just posted above. let me know. thanks

in this case i double all the numbers ? wort batch volume: 19 liters instead of 9.5 -> Yeast Cells Needed [billions] 387 initial count: 200 (i have 2 packs) volumes of each step: 3 liters instead of 1.5 step 1 & 2 and 1 liter step3 -> 405 b yeast cells but the problem is that in the...

ok, thank you !!! and if i make 2 beers in the same week (i plan to make the dubbel and the tripel), can i make 1 bigger starter for both, or i need to make 2 separate starters ? i have 2 packs of same yeast (wyeast 1762, produced on same date)

i hope, because if i enter for example at the date: 1st of May instead 12th, it says 0% viability. so what should i do with my old yeast ? i will try to make the starter. but i dont understand one thing: if i do a 2 step starter. first i start with 2 liters, and in step 2 (in the link you gave...

i will be brewing around 12th October (im not home) will my yeast still be alive ? it is in fridge now (it is produced on 12th May)

you got 148b cells because you selected ale, but my beer is a high gravity ale. and i dont have a stir plate

177-199 billions depending on the original gravity but look what they say on their website: Activator™ Product Information and Usage Activator™ packages are designed for direct inoculation of 5 gallons of standard* wort. Activator™ packages contain live yeast cells in a liquid slurry...

it wasn't foam, but skim (film), don't know how to call it. just as a reminder, my batch is 9.5 liters (2.5 gallons), half of a normal batch. what do you think ?

im a little afraid to make a starter , i tried two times to harvest yeast from trappist beers, and both times in the first 2-3 days it was ok, but after that something white formed on the surface, and it had a strange smell....

ok thanks. but if i make a starter, my wort will be 9.5 liters + 2 liters the starter i will get to 11.5 liters ? it will dilute my beer ? thx

if im low in OG, how i will add the Dry Malt Extract ? yes. i will pour the wort from kettle to fermentor, and then also stir well. also i will add yeast nutrient, which should help ? how to make an starter ? i never used liquid yeast, only dry. thx !

ok thanks. if i try to get an atteunation of 85% then the recipe should be modified, otherwise the beer would get to strong. here it is how it should look for 85% attenuation Tripel - ABV 8.5% (OG 1077 FG - 1011) IBU 36 - SRM 7.4 Apparent attenuation: 85% Efficiency: 60% Fermentables: 1.42...

if i put my recipe in brewer's friend, it shows me 1087 OG and 1022 FG for the Tripel and btw the yeast is produced on: 12 th may 2014 ok thanks. if i try to get an atteunation of 85% then the recipe should be modified, otherwise the beer would get to strong. here it is how it should look for...
