So after 40 plus batches (extract and all grain) I have decided to try making a starter as I am usually a dry yeast guy.
I plan on brewing a white IPA with an OG of 1.065 and I am using White Labs WLP400 Belgian Wit yeast.
I plan on making the following stater:
2 cups water and 1/2 cup DME, boil 10 minutes, cool to 70.
Pitch yeast and small beer in to flask.
My questions are.
1. Can I do this the night before or do I need more time? I do not have a stir plate. Make starter Friday night and pitch sometime on Saturday afternoon.
2. Will this be a good enough start or should I increase the starter size?
Everything I read confuses me on this, that is why I always went with dry or no starter.
Thanks in advance.
