Hello, First post here.
I am told to use 1.21 liters as the "recommended starter" for my OG 46 Porter. I am guessing the 1.21l is the DME I use. But 1.21 (over 2 cups) seems like alot of DME to use. Every were online is recommending 1/2 a cup as the average for 5 gallon. Also is 2 cups water the standard, I see it doesn't give me water amount suggestions. I will also be dumping out as much of my wort as I can before adding to the fermentation. Not sure if that makes my DME and Water measurements less relevant. Thanks
