Hi allOk so I've done a fair bit of searching and found a few threads on decanting the starter before pitching. It seemed that was mainly to not mess up the volumes but I'll definitely do that next time. But yesterday I pitched 2L of starter (two step) into my Belgian strong ale. I measured the OG before I pitched the yeast and it was 1.070 in a 20L wort. After I pitched it was down to 1.062 in a 22L wort. Which one should I use to do my ABV calcs?The starter was a 2-step- 1L water and 100g DME for a day, then tipped that into another 1L water/100g DME. I assume that because I've made a mini beer, that would also drop the OG points because of the alcohol in there.What do you all think?ThanksKieren
