ok, gonna start off with a simple Hefeweizen as my first batch and am using liquid Wyeast 3068. from what I've gathered I need to create a simple starter for this sucker.
I glanced at a few threads on HOW to make a starter but it didn't mention one thing. when using the 1/2 cup of dme to create the starter do you used that 1/2 cup from your (in my case) ingredient kit or do you just go out to the LHBS and grab a cup or so of dme to keep on hand for starters? (basically do I cannibalize my ingredient kit for the starter or is that measurement separate)
