Hi all,
First time poster here!
I'm hoping you can give me some advice on a 1 gallon imperial stout I am brewing. The anticipated OG is about 1.102 and I am using WLP013. Using the Brewer's Friend calculator based on the manufacture date of the yeast I am about 15 billion cells off the target pitch rate. It would only take a very small starter to achieve the target pitch rate but would this be overkill? I was hoping to brew tomorrow and won't have time to make a starter in time so was wondering if I could get away with pitching straight in?
Thanks for your help!
Graeme
