I'm making a starter of wyeast 1056 using a 2 litre erlingmeyer flask and a single pack. Based on the pitching rate calculator i'd need a 4 liter starter. If I decant my starter after a day or so and feed them another 2 liters of wort will I get the same effect as using a 4 liter starter?

Last night I brewed an IPA but due to a miscalculation I missed my O.G. and ended up with a 1.052 and probably should have tried to be mid to high 1.060's. It's a 5 gallon batch and has been fermenting since last night. Can I boil up some concentrated wort and add it to the fermenter today to...

Hi, first time posting and brewing. I bought a brewing kit from Midwest, and a Fat Tire clone from AHS to brew my first batch. I followed all the directions and pitched the yeast and 48 hrs. later no fermentation. (O.G. is unchanged at 1.050) My question is if I pitch more yeast at this...
