Yeast starter for cider

[Personal91]

Hey all, I was wondering if making a yeast starter for cider would be done with the apple juice/water to a gravity of 1040-50 or should I make it a higher gravity as I will be using champagne yeast ?

What would be the optimal temp, starting gravity, amount of yeast to star with and time to let the yeast grow ?

A lot of questions I know

If you mean dry champagne yeast you don't need a starter.

If you mean dry champagne yeast you don't need a starter.

The only reason why I was thinking of making a starter is as the yeast has a best before of 31st of march

But it is vaccum packed
