Hello,
I am about to create my first starter from washed yeast. I used the calculator on Brewer's Friend, and it determined that for my batch, I can use a 1L yeast starter with 3.6oz DME. I am slightly confused on how to get to get to the correct volume.
Here are the facts:
1. Batch size: 4.5Gal
2. Starter size: 1L
3. Washed Yeast/Slurry volume: .5L
4. DME to add to starter according to calc (3.6oz)
Using this information would you boil the DME in .5L of water, then add the .5L slurry to the cooled wort?
Thanks!
Alex
