/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hey guys, I've seen my fair share of horrible home brew threads on /diy/. I think its time for a real question, I'm making a 15 gallon (60Litre) batch of Raspberry Mead in 5 days, I have only ONE smackpack of yeast and am keen to do a staggered nutrient addition alongside adding fresh yeast in each day for the first 3-4 days.

QUESTION: how many yeast starters should I make with my single smackpack? what size should they be for the larger batch? how long should they be started for before pitching? Is it possible to pour some liquid from my initial starter into a second starter after one day and then the next until I have all my starters so that they stagger also? or is it best to just start them all at the same time and add them in a day after each other?
