I am planning on using some yeast from some sweetwater ipa.
I have about a 1.5L starter going on my stir plate now. 2 questions.
-I used the yeast from 4 bottles, and I don't care to do a cell count. Anyone know about how much there is in a bottle? I'm guessing 4 bottles is still less than say a smack pack. My IPA is 1.070 so I figure a 1.5L/decant/2L should produce enough.
-I understand it may take a little longer to get going. 36 hours before chilling and decanting good, or should I go 48?
