So I'm going on my tenth batch of homebrew and finally picked up all of the things needed to make a proper yeast starter. It's spinning away right behind me as we speak.
I think I might have made an error in calculating the size needed to fully ferment my beer. Beersmith is telling me I need around 222.9 billion cells (For a batch gravity of 1.058) and the starter I made will supposedly contain 306 billion cells.
If I pitched the whole starter would I be overpitching?
If so, How can I measure how much of the starter to pour?
