Sorry if this has been addressed before, but was wondering how much water I should use for a MLB starter? Morewine pdf instructions online says 250ml for 2.5grams, but the pdf for VP-41, the straining that I’m using, mentions 20x weight. I’ll also be using acti-ML. Thought it was also interesting that morewine says specifically to use distilled water for MLB starter, but tap water for traditional yeast starter.

I’ve always went with 250ml water. And add more if mixing is a pain. Exact amount isn’t crucial. And ‘distilled’ is specified just in case local tap has high chlorine levels it think.
50g of acti with 2.5g bacteria in 250ml distilled water. Normally with a shot of opti-malo. 100% success rate so far
