Grab me another beer please!
So I bought some variety of yeast and would like to build and use as I need it. One of them is a WLP066 London Fog. I don’t want to brew with it right away per say but would like to build it up. Is it as easy as just putting the info into a calculator and splitting the result into mason jars?
What I mean is, I put the info in the yeast calculator and the yeast was made on Jan 22, so the viability is 50%, from what the spreadsheet says. Now if I make a 1.5L starter at 1.037 or so, on a stir plate, the calc says I built about 212 billion new cells, bringing my total to 262 (100 billion was the starting point, give or take a few billion). Does this mean at the end of the starter phase say 36 hours later, I can give it good swirl and put 750ml in one mason jar and 750ml in another and now both of those have born on dates of the day I made the starter? So at that date I have about in each jar 131 billion cells? And now it’s business as usual, like I just received a fresh pack of yeast ( just with 31 more billion cells)?
