According to the Beer Smith Calculator, I need a 1500ml starter size. Is that calculation based on how much water I need or total volume after adding DME and the smack pack? The reason I ask is that if I use 1500ml of water, add the 5oz of DME, then add the yeast packet, I'm at nearly 1700ml total volume. The other reason I question this calculation is because my 2000ml flask will be almost completely full.
