Looking to brew a German Pils using the above that I harvested from a starter I made last year. According to Home Brew Dads calculator, I would need to do a 3 step starter, (2L each) since the viability is only 15%.
I don't have the time to do a 3 step starter and to be honest, don't really want to do that either.
With that said, for those who have used 8+ months old yeast, is there any way to achieve FG doing a single starter? The max I can do would be 2L?
If it's not recommended to do that, then only other option is to use dry yeast.
I don't want any fermentation issues or less than desirable end results so i would be ok just using dry yeast.
