quick starter size question

[sar_dog_1]

Getting ready to make a starter. Mr Malty says i need a 1.82 liter starter. I have never made one that big. I have a 2000ml flask. is this something i should step up? or can i just add 180 grams of DME to 1.82 L of boiling water?

BTW Stepping up yeast starters has me totaly confused. anybody have a dumbed down link or explanation to this proccess? Thanks and cheers!

I use this calculator for my stepped starters: http://www.yeastcalculator.com/ There is a lot of information if you click the menu buttons.

Your 180 grams in 1.82 liters is correct. It is full so you may get some blow off.

Wyeast german ale 1007. Is this a strain that goes wild on a stir plate?
