Hello guys,

I would like to make it clear for myself, is it possible to clone/multiply beer yeast?

For example:

IF I use 100 B/10g dry yeast pack per 1L starter 1,040 SG (1L water, 115 DME). Assumed growth rate 2,0 from J.Palmer book.
After 24/36 hours, I should have around 200 b cells in 1L starter (?)
Then cooldown, separate the yeast cake, divide 50-50 and make other two 1L 1,040 SG starters with the harvested yeast, so that would make two 1L starters with 200 b cells in each? or?

Please explain me :)
 
I think your question is... "If I double my cell count with a starter, can I split the resulting yeast into two parts, and do a starter (same sizes) for each of them, thus quadrupling the original yeast count?"

If so, the answer is yes.
