2 Yeast Packets?

[Tizzomes]

I am brewing a double IPA this weekend with a O.G 1.086. The yeast I'm using is Wyeast 1272 I'm making a starter but was wondering if I should use 2 yeast packets. Any thoughts ....?

No need to waste a second pack of yeast if you are making an appropriate size starter. One of the primary reasons to make a starter is to build up the cell count.

Ok thanks, I never brewed a beer with a O.G that high.

Take a look at this pitch rate/starter calculator. I use this one for consistency even though there are other calculators out there.
