During my brew day yesterday I took two gallons of second runnings and saved to make starters with. I did this to save money on using DME all the time. I had a gravity reading of 1.020. I would like my gravity to be at 1.040 for starters. I froze the wort in .5 gallon batches.
My question is when it comes time for a starter, how much DME would I add to obtain a gravity of 1.040? I also thought about boil off to obtain a 1 quart starter but I also can't figure out what the gravity would increase to if I boiled off half of the liquid. Thanks for the help.
