I'm getting ready to brew a beer with an og of 1.090. Beer smith says I need 333.9 billion cells. To achieve this it says I need one yeast pack White Labs WLP001 with a starter size of 1.65 l. I know for a normal 2L starter u would use 1300 ml water to 1 cup dme? I'm confused about this and I definitely don't won't to scew this batch up by underpitching it. Any help would be appreciated!
O and I used todays date as the harvest date for the yeast because I haven't received it yet. :confused:
 
The starter size also depends on the starter gravity. The higher the gravity, the less size is needed. But I think you'd want to stay at or below a 1.040 gravity.
