So, I was thinking about something in regards to a starter I'm doing for a lager. This starter started out as a 1.5L starter. It's chilling right now and will be stepped up to a 5L starter using 544g DME.
What I started thinking about is this...
If I boil up 5L of water and add the 544g DME to that, I'm going to have way more than 5L starter. Is the starter volume that calculators spit out the total volume once you boil and add DME or is it the volume pre-boil and pre-DME addition?
