So I am doing my first AG and doing a Pilsener Urquell clone. I have everything I need - extra fridge, SS fermenter with trub dump valve, and Yeast Starter set.
That being said, I haven't done any of this yet. I have never made a yeast starter and bought a 2L flask. Brewers Friend tells me I need to do at least 5L. So strike one for me. Any suggestions? Also, I bought a stir plate but it doesn't tell me how long to leave the stir plate on for to complete the process.
Second, I have never needed to use a blow off tube and now will need to run the line outside of a fridge. How do I keep the fridge door closed? I don't really want to drill on a lock or anything.
Thanks.
