Hi folks,
First of all, sorry if this question has been posted before.
For a beer (10 Liters to fermenter) that's 1,092 OG BeerSmith Yeast starter calculator is calling for 165 billion cells, or 1.3 packages of Safale S-04.
I created a starter with just 1 package.
Questions:
- Is this enough for a healthy fermentation?
- For future brews, should I always follow the Yeast calculator's advice?
- What happens if I over-pitch (more yeast cells than called for/needed)?
- What safety (sanitization) meassures should I take to create a starter?
Thanks!
