So I bought some white labs yeast (best used by February 14 2014) I put in it mrmalty calc. And it seems I have low viability. I made a 1 liter starter, well I started one. I'm brewing on Monday. Should I step up this starter? It seems like my yeast count will be low. I've never stepped up a starter. From what I read I use a lower amount on the second part if the starter. This kind of confuses me. http://www.northernbrewer.com/documentation/YeastPitchingRates.pdf. How much do I use for the step up to get the right cell count?
. You get what I'm saying? Help
