Been looking around for some information about this but couldn't seem to find it as it seems underpitching is the main concern and cons from overpitching are minimal or not even guaranteed. How much sediment from a starter would you have to pitch to be overpitching?
I'm in the process of building up a good sized starter for a big beer I'm brewing this weekend. Been doubling it up this week and about to take it to a gallon. This will be the most I've pitched (usually do 2 quarts) and am positive I'll be fine. I also decant the beer off the top and just pitch sediment), but I was wondering, in the future, how much sediment would I have to get to overpitch? What if I took a starter up to 2 gallons and pitched that sediment? And I know it depends on the gravity of the beer too so let's just do this for an average beer below 1060. Well, most of my beers are above that
