G'day to all,
I'm a novice at this computer stuff and new to the world of internet forums so I'll try not to draw this out.
I've been brewing for about 30 years using exclusively Coopers kit products and have never had a bad beer. I've always just used the dry yeast cast into the top of the fermenter. With all the great information that I've absorbed, I'm now keen to try a yeast starter.
I know you've covered this at great length, but I just need some prompting.
I've just purchased 4 x Coopers Traditional Draught, 4 x Liquid Light Malt Extract and 500gms of Light Malt Extract powder. I also purchased a sachet of Brewmaster Premium Ale Yeast with the idea that I was going to use this to make my starter, but I have since read that the Traditional draught comes with specific yeast so I suppose I should use that.
I want to make 4 batches concurrently. Should I use all 4 sachets of the yeast and the L.M.E powder to make up say 1.5 ltrs of starter or is that overkill ?
What volume of yeast starter is required for each batch ?.
Thank you all for the great information and tips I've already gleaned.
