I managed to save about 700 ml of yeast for a beer I plan to make this weekend. It is in the flask now sitting comfortably in about 70F degree weather in my kitchen. My question is, do I need to cook up some DME and add it to the yeast or can I just pitch what I've saved?
I looked at mr malty's yeast calculator but I'm not sure I'm using it right or if I understand it. According to my calculations I'll need something in the neighborhood of just over 4 liters (according to his calculator actually, and my use of it). Isn't that close to a gallon of yeast? I don't think I've ever pitched more than a half liter ever and my beers have been turning out fine.
