Good morning guys!
Question about a starter: I would like to make a wlp 590 french season starter! I saw on the yeastman website that, based on the batch number, the viability would be around 93%! I'm quite conservative so I used 80% for the calculations!
The recipe is for a grisette with OG 1.034. I attach the Brewfather screens relating to the calculation.
I hypothesized a 0.8lt starter with an overpitch of around 50% but the inoculation rate of 150 billons Cell/ml scares me a bit which from what I have read should be under 100 billons Cell/ml but to get it there I have to do a starter of more than 1 LT with very high overpitch How do you behave? Have you hit any highly?
The other idea was to inoculate directly without starter assuming a viability of 93% but I would still be under 8 billion cells. Thanks for the tips
