Hi all -
In a week or so I'm planning on brewing a California Common, and it will be my first time making a yeast starter. I'm shooting for 5.5 gallons into my fermenter, and the recipe calls for 3 liquid packets of WLP 810. I have a 2000 ml flask and a stir plate, so making the starter isn't a problem.
My question is, when I make the starter, should I use two packs of WLP 810 as the starting point, or is one enough? Also, when I go to pitch, should I use the whole starter or just a portion? Overall I'm just looking for general guidance so I can easily calculate how many packs I'll need to use next time, and how much to use.
