I've used MrMalty's calculator to determine that I need 2 vials and 3 liters of wort for 2 different brews I am doing this weekend. Couple problems here.
1. I will be out of town on business until friday and I would like to brew 1 batch (Southern Tier Creme Brulee Stout clone OG 1.103) on Saturday and another batch (Southern Tier Pumking Ale clone OG 1.101) on Sunday.
2. I've never done a starter and don't have a stir plate.
I get the concept of the starter and understand the process but how do I go about getting the starter going since I won't be around to babysit it??? I can go by the LHBS and get my yeast tomorrow, the 3 liters is for a simple starter. Can I just boil the wort, cool and add the yeast and it will be ready to go when I get going on saturday?? Do I really need 2 vials of yeast?? Please help the poor newbie :rockin:
