I'm planning on brewing up the 10-10-10 Scottish Recipe in the next 10 days. It's a 1.100 brew (BIG!), and Mr. Malty tells me I need one gallon starter. What I'm wondering is if I should build that in two steps? Start with a 2 qt 1.050 and then step it up to a one gallon 1.100? Or should I have the 2 qt step also be 1.100? Or go with three steps, 1 qt > 2 qt > 4 qt, all @ 1.100? I don't want to stress the yeast, and I'm just not sure what the best way to build this starter is. The more I think about it, the third option sounds best, but I would appreciate any advice.
