dry yeast in a starter question

[fletcher]

so i've used a half pack, literally about 5gm or so of s-04, and am stepping it up now as we speak. it'll be used in a simple cider. apple juice, pear juice, lemon and tea. OG at 1.044. according to mr malty, is this slurry i'm pitching, or a liquid yeast "starter" (with stir plate), given it has no non-yeast? i know this is normally a no no to do/not best practice etc. i only stepped it up as i wanted to use it but couldn't get any other yeast in the mean time and wanted to make sure i had enough. as well as this, the pack was old so wanted to make sure it was healthier for pitching.

just want to figure it out so i don't pitch way under or over.

I'd say a starter, without looking at or knowing much about Mr. malty though.

BTW, I actually had to read your post four times until I understood what you were asking, but that might just be me.

EDIT: I think it's really just me, so ignore that last line.

Yes its a starter and with 5g's you need to step it to get enough to push 1044. Slurry is a full packet hydrated or harvested yeast from the fermenter.

cheers mate. i could have worded it better. basically just wanting to know what to classify it as using mr malty.
