say for instance you use pitching calculator and it says you need 18grams of dried yeast for your brew and your packet is 11.5grams, can you increase the cell count somehow?? i know alot of people will say just add another packet but thats another $8 that could be saved if you could grow a starter.
i'm guessing a starter of half a litre of water, 10grams dextrose, packet yeast, let sit for 24 hours would increase cell count??
any info on this would be greatly apprieciated.
