Hi, wondering if someone out there can help me. I need to make a yeast starter for a 10 gallon batch. I have all of the equipment, but I'm not sure of exactly how to make a yeast starter. I hear that it's easy, but I've never made one.
I understand that it's like making a "mini-beer." My issue is that I do not know how much yeast to make. Furthermore, when I make the yeast, how many yeast packets do I need to purchase to create a starter? I'm hoping that 1 packet will suffice!
I'm looking to up my game and brew a Belgian Dark Strong Ale (recipe here: Belgian Strong Ale). Any and all advice is welcome, thanks!
