I would like to make a Coopers Pale Ale clone, and I bought a 12 pack of 375mL (13oz) that very beer. The best after date on the box is early February 2020. I've never used liquid yeast before. The bottles are currently upright in the garage and I will leave them that way for a few days for the yeast to settle (it's winter here so nice and cold).
I won't use Coopers dry yeast as that is a different strain from the one in the bottles. Apparently that strain can't be successfully dried.
Would I be pushing it if I were to use the yeast from 10 of those bottles to make a 1.5L (0.4 gal) starter? Or should the starter be smaller?
