Splitting yeast starter into separate containers. ok?

[Panderson1]

I made a 20ml starter using my flask with 200g dme.

After the temperatures were proper, i pitched 2 packs (keivik yeast) into aerated wort (1.040) and shook it some more. But the liquid was too much and worried about overflow so i poured half the flask into a sanitized growler.

Is there any problem with this? Pitched both into my 10 gallon batch.

Seems like a dumb question but figured I'd ask.

Should be alright... Your yeast count might be different from what you'd get with a single starter... But you should have more yeast than you started with...

I really only do vitality starters for harvested yeast, so the vagaries of starters and cells counts aren't something I'm too informed about....
But I give you permission to RDWHAHB.

Thanks. Im just trying to find the source of a strong off flavor (chemical/metallic) that ive had the past 3 batches. Had to dump them. My process and recipes are the same. It's driving me insane. I had great batches before. Something the past 3 batches is wrong. I've already emailed omega about the kveik yeast I've been using.
