So I have collected the yeast from my last batch. As I have a conical I dumped the first runnings of the slurry and collected the middle part which should be good yeast. Its been it the fridge for 7-10 days and its compacted to about 100ml of solids sat on the original beer.
I am going to brew on Friday and will repitch this yeast which leads to my question. I would like to get this repitch roused and ready to go, so should/can I make a starter? When pitching packets I normally make a 2ltr 1:035 starter a day before. Mr Malty calculator suggests I need 160ml but doesn't suggest a starter size. Will the above starter allow for enough growth to achieve the required pitch rate?
