Hey all;
I have noticed that there seems to be a discrepancy in calculations between yeast starter requirements in BeerSmith vs. Mr. Malty and it has been puzzling me for some time.
Mr. Malty always recommends to use more packets of years and starter size volume than Beersmith. I think this is mainly due to the way Mr. Malty is calculating the viability of yeast. Mr.Malty has a significantly lower viability calculation for the same date of production than Beersmith does.
I have discussed viability with a lot of people and most argue that it is higher than what Mr. Malty calculates it it. But that being said the brewers I discussed this with are not Chris and Jamil and their book.
So what is everyone's thoughts on the calculator in Beersmith? Perhaps I should send Brad an email on this one.
Cheers,
Markus
