Hello, I just made my first yeast starter. I read and watched a lot of videos on You-Tube & I think I did everything right. Now I'm just sitting here wondering if all the work was worth it. Did I do something wrong, did I sanitize everything, did I put enough yeast in?????? I don't want to brew 10 gallons and wait 3-4 weeks, just to find out I screwed something up. Or for $16.00 I can get 2 smack-packs for my 10 gallons.
I went step by step with the: Yeast Washing Illustrated & Yeast Starter pages here on Home Brew Talk.
So do you think making a yeast starter is worth all the extra time and effort?
