Just made my first yeast starter last night. Went well. 1L starter with wlp300 for a 4 gallon batch. This morning it had a small foamy krausen probably a 3mm thick.
When I used "mr malty" and other yeast calculators it says I need a 2L starter and a stir plate. My yeast is almost a month away from its expiration date so that's the reason it says that I won't have enough cells. If this information is really that accurate, can i reinforce or completely switch the starter with dry fermentis Hefeweizen yeast, that's all I have access to?
The yeast starter will have been sitting for 24 hours when I pitch it
