I'm looking to make my first lager in the next week or so. I bought a Wyeast Boheiman Lager Smack Pack for the Northern Brewer Maibock kit (All-grain OG at 1.068). Should I let the smack pack inflate and then step up the smack pack in a starter once or twice?
For ale's I just normally make a 1L starter and let it go, but I've read a bigger starter is needed for Lagers. Looking for help. Mr. Malty says 3 smack packs, but what if I step up the starter from the single smack pack.
