Stepping up starter question

[GryphonBrew]

Ok so I'm brewing a big batch on Saturday and it requires about 425 billion cells according to Mr. Malty. I've been using starters for a while, but this is the first one I've had to step up this big.

It's calling for a little over 4L of starter. I did a 2L yesterday and planned on chilling it for a few hours, decanting, and jumping up to the 4L tonight.

My question is this: do I boil up 4L of fresh wort for the 2nd step or do I have to take into account the volume of the yeast cake as well?

Just do the wort volume as reported.

Good stuff that's what I thought. Thanks!

Funny thing is when I first started doing starters I use to think that I needed all yeast for the volume. Like I thought a 2 liter starter was allllll 2 liters of yeast cake.

Thanks samc.

No flash on the iPhone though.

That would be epic.
