Notes

Starter from 1 pack (100B cells):

  1. Add water to 120g DME, bring to 1.75L total.
  2. Boil 10-15 min.
  3. Put lid on and remove from heat.
  4. Chill the wort (place pot in cold water or wait for temp to drop)
  5. When the wort is at room temp, pour into a flask. Do not strain/filter.
  6. Cover the flask with sanitized foil and shake to aerate.
  7. Sanitize the exterior of the yeast package and pour the liquid into the flask.
  8. Swirl gently to incorporate the yeast.
  9. Replace foil and place the flask at room temp, out of direct sunlight.

    Depending on the yeast in the pack, total propagation time should be 24-48hours.

    It is possible to chill the starter overnight in the fridge to settle all the yeast.

    The starter "beer" can be poured off so only the yeast slurry will be pitched.
