So I want to begin to use starters, and had a couple questions. I'm going to buy a starter kit from nothernbrewer which will come with a 1000 ml flask and 1 pound of DME.
1) how many batches will the one pound of DME last? (or, how much do I add to make the starter?)
2) I am only at the stage where I'm making beer from the ingredient kits either ordered online or at my LHBS. Since its often LME I can't "steal" some to make the starter. Is it ok to use the same kind of DME for any type of beer. Does it matter what you use in the starter or is it too little to affect the taste of the beer?
I know things can get pretty advanced with starters, but I'm just looking to take the first step at this point.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
