    Shooting for 1.040 gravity, so about 7-8oz of DME for a 2L starter.

    Is your Google broken?

    Wrong forum, I knew someone would answer it fast like you did without googling it.

    Think in metric.

    The golden rule ratio is 1 gram of DME for every 10 ml of starter.

    So for 2000ml (2 liters) of starter, you would need 200 grams of DME to make a 1.040 starter.

    Cheers!
