Yeast starter calculator?

[dhelegda]

I am making RyePA with a OG of 1.078 I am using Wyeast 1450 Denny's Favorite 50...need to make a yeast starter, what calculator do you use. Or how much water, yeast nutrient and DME should I use?

I'm actually trying to use that one too...it's not making sense

Never mind I think I have this

what wasnt making sense? For one that big you will need a multi step starter. Atleast 2, maybe 3.

I didn't see how much water I needed, then I realized it asked how may liter starter I wanted to use. Weird I have never had used a multi step starter before.

I did one for my last brew because the stir stick that came in my starter kit wouldnt spin a 2L starter at all, so the next starter I did a 2 set with 2 1L ones. Worked great.

I aerate with a fish pump and stone the shake every time I walk by. It's been working for big beers
