Just looking for a bit of advice and wondering if anyone has any tips for economically splitting yeast packs for use in small 5L batches. I've read a few posts about spliting yeast packs but as I'm doing a smaller batch's I'm getting confused about what size I should split the yeast into.
What would be the best way to say split a Wyeast activator pack for use in 5L batches? Should I split it into 4/30 ml vials. Would that give me enough to pitch a vial directly or will I have to make a starter regardless? If I do have to make a starter does this mean I could split one activator into even smaller vials?
Cheers,
Jamesco
