So on my continuing quest to better my beer I am making my first yeast starter tonight for a beer I am brewing this weekend. It is an IPA that's target OG is 1.074. Mr malty says that a 1.5L starter on a stir plate will make it happen.
So I went out and got a 2L Erlenmeyer flask and a couple of parts that I did not have laying around to finish my stir plate build.
So the questions are,
Should I boil the stir bar with the wart?
and
I read I should be OK boiling my wort right in the flask on my gas range, is this correct?
