AAARRGGH !!!! every time I read one of these I get different info on how much spraymalt to add to how much water. Yesterday I pitched a vial of Irish yeast into 1 litre of water and 100 of spray malt grams and nothing much happened. Its in the wort now so I will have to wait and see.

I am just about to build another starter for tomorrows TTL. I have the Wyeast's Yorkshire Yeast and am about to add my last 135 grams of spraymalt to water but cant figure out how much water to use.

Help !!!

Yep. Very important to note that they mean 70F, not 70C!

That's the right ratio - 10:1

Chris White recomends that you don't go over 1.012 for a starter.

There are valid scientific reasons for this but as they are only looking for a problem to solve I won't go into them.
