Starter Gravity Question

[yellowthunda]

I was using mr malty to calculate how much yeast starter to use for my beer

It tells you how many quarts of starter to use but it doesnt tell you what the gravity of it should be

is 1.040 a safe bet?

Yes. Most starter calculations are based around that gravity. Typically, 100-120gm DME per Liter of water will get you there.
