Hey Everyone,
So, I want to proof out my honey ale recipe with a 1 gallon batch. I figure at 1.045 OG, just a simple packet of Wyeast 1056 will be sufficient; no starter.
However, I'd like to use the resulting yeast for a 3 gallon batch of an IPA at roughly 1.055 OG. My thought is to ferment the honey ale, rack and bottle, then add some cooled, boiled wort to the remaining yeast, swirl and pitch into the IPA.
Thoughts on basically using the 1 gallon batch to create a giant starter?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
