Hi everyone,
I need to make my first lager yeast starter and could do with some advise.
I am limited to a 2 litre starter size and I need to get to c.410billion yeast cells from a single liquid vial (WLP800).
I was thinking of making a 500ml starter and agitating this for 24hrs (I don't have a stir plate). After the first 24hrs adding an additional 500ml of wort and continuing the agitation process for a second 24hrs.
At this point I would add a further 1000ml of wort and agitate for 24hrs more to create a 2 litre starter with an estimated 500billion yeast cells.
Does anyone see a problem with this? Stay with me here, I'm new to the world of homebrew.
Thanks
