im just working on an all-grain yeast starter (750g of 2 row mashed with 5L of water to give 4L hopefully around 1.040). My plan is to use this in two steps for the belgian blonde i'm brewing in the next week or so... I just checked with http://www.yeastcalc.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (i like it because i can calculate for a two step starter) and it seems i will have a bit of extra wort, but i have no problem freezing the rest of the wort for a different starter. should i do a 1.0L step and then 1.5L? throw in 3L all at once?
i'm sort of new to yeast starters and want a sanity check, does that seem reasonable for 23L of 1.063 wort, using a wyeast smack pack date dec. 11?
also, last question, do i need to use yeast nutrient in an all grain starter? i think i have some DAP here somewhere that i can use if i need to
thanks guys!
