I?m new to yeast starters so any insight is appreciated.
So plugging in the info to BeerSmith I get following info for my starter:
1.7 l starter size
1 packet of liquid yeast
112 grams (3.95 oz) or DME
1/4 teaspoon of nutrient
Boil for 15 mins, cool to 80*, pitch yeast and park on the stir plate for 2-3 days.
When I do this, due to boil off over 15mins I end up w much less than 1.7l of starter.
Is BeerSmith calculating this loss? Do I have the right size starter (it boiled down to about 1l)?
Am I obsessing over a minute detail?
