So I realized I screwed up my order, didn't by any DME or FastPitch. I have two beers to make over Christmas break here. An Imperial Stout (1.10 OG) and an Amber (1.051). I have just enough DME for the starter for the RIS, so here's my plan. Make that first (starter wort is boiling now). Then when I make that, I'll save a Liter of second runnings, which should be about 1035 and use that for starter for Amber. (I can always blend a little if it's lower than what I think it will be.) I don't have an LHBS; would be a 2 hour drive.
Should I have any concerns with using the wort from RIS for starter in Amber? It seems that it would be ok, very low volume and should have time to crash and decant it, but......
Based on mfg date of yeast for Amber, yes, I need a 1L starter.
Side note: Anyone used White Labs in the new packaging yet? That kinda thru me when I open my box of supplies.
