I'm setting up my yeast bank over the next couple of weeks. I will be making 15 or so starters to build up the various yeast strains I am going to keep on hand.
To make things more simple and less expensive I am going to make a 7 gallon batch of wort at 1.040 and can them in 1qt mason jars so I don't have to worry about making a batch it wort every time I make a starter.
My question is, is there a point in boiling it? The only plus I can see is getting a hot break would remove proteins but I don't know if there is a benefit to that.
Thanks,
Marcus
