So I notice that beer smith calculates viable yeast. I've always pitched a single pack of Wyeast into a 5-gallon batch and the pitching rate is (as I'm told correct). Under the Starter tab, BeerSmith tells me that I need to use 83 yeast packs if I don't make a substantial starter to achieve the 410 billion cell count that I need. This seems outrageous. Any thoughts?
