How long for a Shaken-not-Stirred lager starter?

[hobsondrake_yahoo.com (HobsonDrake)]

twenties and early thirties.  Shaking the dickens out of a starter was just the result of being very strong.  I noticed a huge increase in performance, so I stuck with the method long enough to understand why it worked.

Just to understand your process, is this shaking with or without the yeast in the wort starter?

Yaknow, I never posed that question to S. cerevisiae.  I just assumed you put it all together and shook it.  So that’s what I did.  Worked great for me.

Shaking occurs after pitching.

I don’t know that I would pitch 3 liters of starter wort into a 6 gallon batch of beer.

I don’t want to sound snarky but that’s what the silly yeast calculators call for.  In fact they want 4 L !

What I was getting at is that I would decant and just pitch the yeast to avoid diluting the beer with too much bland tasting starter wort, not that your starter was too large.
