I am planning on a slightly higher gravity 5 Gallon brew this weekend (OG-1.086) and am going to be making my first starter. I am using Mr. Malty (as advised by many of the folks on here). I have a 2L starter flask. I have one vial of White Labs Ca. Ale. It appears that Mr. Malty is telling me I will need 2 vials of yeast along with an approx. 2L starter. So, I will need to get a second vial of yeast? Picking up a second vial is no big deal as the LHBS is minutes from my house. Should I decant the starter wort off of the top of the settled yeast? Thanks!
