4 qts water to 1 cup DME. Boil water & add DME. Boil for 15 minutes. Cool in ice bath to 70-65'. Pour into flask (you will have around 1800ml) & then add Wyeast. Put on stirplate for 24-48 hours. Montanaandy
Wyeast Labs said:Starter Recipe:
The optimal media for cell growth and health require using a malt based media (DME) fortified with nutrients. Gravity should be kept near 1.040 and cultures should be grown at 70°F.
Recipe
1 cup DME (100g, 3.5oz)
½ tsp Wyeast Nutrient
1qt.(1L) H2O
Mix DME, nutrient, and water.
Boil 20 minutes to sterilize.
Pour into a sanitized flask or jar with loose lid or foil.
Allow to cool to 70°F.
Shake well and add yeast culture.
How to Brew said:Boil a pint (1/2 quart) of water and stir in 1/2 cup of DME. This will produce a starter of about 1.040 OG.
