I'm planning to do a Schwarzbier with a potential OG of 1.080-1.090 tomorrow. I only have one packet of S23 and am hoping I can find a couple more packs at the local homebrew shop, which is fairly doubtful. If I'm in a pinch, can I make a 1 gallon starter with my S23 to get the cell count up to a pitchable rate in time? Second, do you have to keep the starter at a specific temperature because it is a lager yeast?
