I intended to make a yeast starter for tomorrow's brew day, but forgot to pick up DME. A few questions.
1.) Can I use corn sugar for the yeast starter? If so, what would the recipe amount be for a 1.040 starter? I have a 2000mL flask.
2.) My home brew shop opens at 10am, if I have starter complete by 11am, will I have given the yeast a nice head start if I'm pitching by 4pm? Is it worth making a 4 hour starter or should I just double pitch instead.
Thanks,
JT
