Guys, i am currently creating one 1 liter, 1020 OG starter per week. Since i brew 1 gallon batches i brew every weekend. I always split the yeast from that 1 liter starter into two jars and use one for the brew and the other one for the next starter.
My understanding of starters is:
- If you create a 1 liter starter with too much yeast the end result will be less viable cells than the original;
- If you create a 1 liter starter with a just enough yeast for them to reproduce the end result will be more viable cells than the original;
If that is correct, is it right to assume that every time i create a 1 liter starter with 1020 OG i will get around the same number of viable cells?
Calculating exactly the number is too complicated for me being a new brewer, so i just want to figure out a good process and always use it.
Thanks
