Dry yeast starter photos

OK I rehydrate the yeast, then I add sugar and wait for a meringue type head and pitch onto the wort. Isn't that a starter?

In the section called Image Link Code, highlight and copy the url in the box labeled IMG.

It should have the appropriate verbage to post here.

Edit: I will remove kitty when you are done. Bye Christmas Kitty!

Looks delicious but when you say you add "sugar" you mean DME right? not just sugar?

Sugar is bad for starters because it prepares the yeast to ferment that type of sugar to the exclusion of malt sugars. You would do more harm for your beer doing a starter this way than by doing none. Especially with dry yeast.

Check out the thread: Fourteen Essential Questions About Yeast Starters

It talks about the reasons why dry yeasts do not require a starter.

Dry yeast only needs to be hydrated with water. No sugar is necessary, no starter either.

Good job on the pictorial though. It shows the strength and power of dry yeast!!
