I have a recipe in beersmith and i would like to see if i am using it right when i am figuring out yeast calculations. I am comparing the calculations between beersmith and Yeast Calculator. Let me know at any point when i am wrong.
I am using California Ale yeast Beersmith tells me i need 253.4 billion cells for this recipe my estimated OG is 1.067. California ale says it has 96.00 billion cells in 1oz. I have the stir plate checked. It tells me i need 1.08L of starter and 1 package of yeast. As far as i know. that should be all i need and just do it.
Yeast Calculator tells me using all the same numbers i have in beersmith, That the same amount of wort will only give me 225 billion cells. Yeast calculator tell me i need 1.45L of starter to get 253.4 billion cells. Why are they not closer to being the same?
I am just concerned because when i make a bigger higher OG beer the difference will even be more if i was using the same yeast.
Just triple checking, Mr. Malty tells me i need 1.31L of starter to get the same number of cell count.
