So I would like to make a 1300 mL batch for a starter.  Is there a way to do this in Beer Smith?  How much DME and how much Water?  I can more then likely get away with making a 1L batch and calling it good but my recipe calls for a 1.34L starter, just thought I would try and get closer.

This is my standard custom (oxymoron?) report, so ignore what does not apply, but yea, I found it took about 3.5 oz to make a liter starter after some boil-down.
