Threw in some figures in Mr Malty's yeast starter app.
I'm going to be brewing up a 1.067/ 6gal porter on Wednesday.
As I type this, I have 1.4L of yeast starter in front of me, with the plan to propagate a second step/batch of starter tomorrow.
My plan was to over propagate tomorrow so I have some yeast left over to decant for a future brew.
However, seeing the Mr. Malty calcuations, it seems its predicting I should be pitching a whopping 2.5L starter!
After doing some research, it seems a lot of brewers make starters to 1.040 regardless of the calc. OG of the brew (excluding extreme ABV's).
So, by the time I've done a 2-step by tomorrow, I'm going to have nothing left to save for a future brew. Thoughts? Should I stick with maybe just doing close to 2L of starter?
Cheers guys :fro:
