Does anyone have a source that discusses starters with dry yeast. Not text from “Yeast”, but actual studies they are referring to? If following pitch calculators, I can’t see how buying multiple packs of dry yeast makes economical sense. Sure there is a convenience factor. I have always made starters, dry or liquid, and have never started with more than 1 pack.
I am making a 10 gallon batch, 11.5 gallons in the fermenter, 1.056 OG Pilsner. Brew father says 6 packs of yeast. 34/70 is $7 per pack. Is anyone really buying this much dry yeast?
