Yeast starter gravity

[Touristbob]

Dumb question but I just wanted some reassurance that I'm ok. I brewed an IPA yesterday and had some extra liquid in the mash tun so I pulled it and froze it to make a starter with. I saved 2 liters and split them into batches. My question is that from looking at the yeast starter guide the OG should be about 1.020. The reading i have for the left over mash i have is 1.032. My assumption is that it would be ok to boil his for 10 mins, cool and pitch the yeast to get the starter going for a 1 liter starter. Should I dilute it to get the gravity down or will it be fine the way it is?

thanks

I think the change in the final gravity is nominal and will not affect it. Just extra food for the yeast.

It will be fine.. I use 1.04 for my starters. I think there is a pretty good range that is okay. Where did you get the 1.02 number from? I am curious to know if I am understanding incorrectly.

My starters are always 1.030-1.040. That's more typical, and what is recommended by mrmalty.

+1 Wyeast website also reccomends 1.040 wort for starters.

Cool, thanks all.
