Title says it all... The calculator doesn't have anywhere to display whether the yeast strain is high gravity or not. I'm currently trying to calculate a starter for 3787 TRAPPIST HG yeast. Does the fact that it's HG not have anything to do with the required cells? Whats the diference between regular yeast and HG yeast?

My guess - HG yeast is just better dealing with high gravity beers but you still need to use the same amount of active cells as you would a regular gravity yeast. Yes or no?

Thanks people
