So this was my first time washing yeast (WLP002) and used the sticky by Bernie Brewer. I followed the tutorial and ended up with what seems like very little yeast. I've got 4 pint size mason jars with about 1/2cm of slurry on the bottom of each. Question #1, does this sound right or should I have ended up with more? I will be brewing again next week and was hoping to use this yeast. I will be doing an IPA with an OG of 1.070 and according to Mrmalty I will need 121ml of slurry. So Question #2, It sounds like I need to make a starter with my washed yeast to build up the cell count. How large of a starter will I need? I did some volume calculations and I think I have about 76ml of washed yeast to start with. Any help on this one?
