I went to my LHBS and picked up the last package of Yeast 3944 they had, got it home and found out it has a born by date of 8/1/2018. I entered the info in the homebrew dad yeast calculator and came up with these numbers.
Method of Aeration: Stir Plate
Starter Volume: .45 L
Dry Malt Extract: 45 grams
Inoculation Rate: 14
New Cells Created: 64
Total Cells: 70
Growth Factor: 9.9
2nd Starter Step
Method of Aeration: Stir Plate
Starter Volume: 2 L
Dry Malt Extract: 202 grams
Inoculation Rate: 35
New Cells Created: 283
Total Cells: 353
Growth Factor: 4.04
Is this going to work?
I tried to keep the growth factor below 10 as I read somewhere that is important.
Also, normally my schedule is to start the starter on Wednesday, put it in the refrigerator Friday, and brew on Saturday. I've never done a second starter before. What should my schedule be for this? Can I get this done by this coming Sunday?
