I have a 2l starter with a stir plate. My beer profile is
OG 1.067 and 10 Gallons, it's a Bock using WLP 833 lager yeast. Beersmith says I need
Yeast Cells Needed 919Billion
Yeast Cells with starter 379Billion
Also it says Yeast packs with starter 2....does that mean I should have put 2 yeast vials in my starter to get the 379Billion? It also recommends a 5.21 l starter size?
If I step this up after the first starter is done...say another 2l of wort (200g dme, 2l water) how would I calculate the yeast cells?
If I pitched with only half of the recommended yeast count will I have serious issues?
