I just read a recipe where someone was suggesting pitching a 32 Liter yeast starter for 15 gallons of beer.... I realize that 15 gallons of 1.094 beer would require a lot of yeast however. 32 Liters by my math would be about 8.5 gallons....... Is this person actually suggesting pitching 8.5 gallons of yeast starter into 15 gallons of beer? Or is there something I'm not understanding about the terminology here. I just made an IPA that was 5 gal with 1.076 og and
pitched a starter I made with 3 cups of small beer a pinch of nutrient and one Wyeast smack pack on a stir plate for 36 hours and it finished at 1.011 as most all of my beers do. Someone please rationalize this for me because I have seen things like this a lot on this site.
