For a 10 gallon lager, Mr. Malty suggests something like a 2 gallon starter, even for normal gravity lagers. Because that is huge pain, I was wondering if I could avoid it by pitching something easier, like a half gallon, using pure O2 for 60 seconds, then giving the beer a second dose of pure O2 about 12 hours later. I read somewhere that you can effectively increase the pitch rate with a second pure O2 burst during the growth phase before fermentation starts. What do you guys think?
