Notes

Looking for a pitch rate of 785 billion. First starter was made with 10.4 oz dme 3.5 liters of filtered water. 3 liter starter at 1.0385 to give us 490 billion.

2nd starter was a 2.25 ml starter at 1.039 giving us 384B more cells to start with and a grand total OF...874Billion beautiful cells!
