4 gallons will get you 1.030
3 gallons will get you 1.040
my general rule of thumb for starters is 1 ounce DME per cup of water, and conveniently that's also the same as 1 pound per gallon. LME and DME have different yields but close enough (when talking about starters) to use the same rule of thumb. By that rule, 3.3 gallons would put you around 1.036, which is fine for a starter.

Gracias.

I made it a little stronger. I'm going to save about a gallon for future starters.
