Needs starter (see below), or more yeast.

Part 2: Make a starter if required, supports up to 3 step-ups.
Yeast Starter - Up To 3 Step-Ups:
Starting Yeast Count: (Billion Cells)
Enter the number of cells you are starting with, or click the 'grab from above' button if you set up your yeast in the previous section.
Starter - Step 1:
Starter Size (L) Gravity (°P) Growth Model and Aeration

		<br />

DME Required:
7.2 oz, 204.9 g
Growth Rate:
1.5
Inoculation Rate: 55.0M cells/mL
Ending Cell Count:
274 billion cells
Resulting Pitch Rate:
1.05M cells / mL / °P
Starter does not create enough yeast cells. Increase starter size, change aeration technique, or do another step.
Starter Size (L) Gravity (°P) Growth Model and Aeration

		<br />

DME Required:
7.2 oz, 204.9 g
Increase:
0.8
Inoculation Rate: 137.0M cells/mL
Ending Cell Count:
496 billion cells
Resulting Pitch Rate:
1.91M cells / mL / °P
Starter meets desired pitching rate!

Dry Yeast - billions of cells per gram:

No one agrees on the number of yeast cells per gram in dry yeast!<br />
This is made more confusing because each yeast strain has different size cells and clumping tendencies.<br />
We put in a reasonable default of 10 billion cells per gram of dry yeast.<br />
Kaiser located a study which reports the following data on dry yeast ranging from 8-18 billion cells per gram:<br />
