Yeah! You live and learn lol. I’m ordering the newest edition today. you think my yeast will be fine to pitch? after the mishaps, I ended up getting the gravity to 1.048 and pitched 100 billion cells into about 800mL of wort

nevermind. found it. he did update it in the new edition

3rd edition. has he corrected that?

the guy on youtube says it at least 4 times during the video to instill it into your mind. this is the top video for yeast starters on YouTube lol. that video and the book had me thinking that was correct.

yeah most people are doing measures of volume. next time i'll weigh out my DME by grams. I really wanna know why there are so many people swearing by that 1/2 cup to 2 cup ratio.

I'm halfway through reading John Palmer's book "How to Brew". Decided to make my first yeast starter last night follow the starter wort recipe listed in his book, which is 1/2 cup DME to 2 cups of H20. I ended up getting a 1.090 gravity wort. I had to water it down and reboil, had a boil over...
