I have to begin stepping up some yeast for a large belgian beer, and don't have any DME. I do however have a bunch of table sugar. Can I use table sugar to step up teh yeast for my starter? Any idea of the sugar to water ratio?
Go to a grocery stote and pick up some Malta Goya in the Latin section and mix it 50/50 with water. That trains the yeast to eat Maltose. Sugar is not a good starter
Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured.

If you use all sugar the yeast will forget how to eat maltose and you will have a beer which is almost completely unattenuated. Blech.
making a starter with sugar water?
