Brewby, my beer
Well-Known Member
I harvested and washed the yeast from my first batch and I have two jars of it in the fridge. I want to use it for my next batch.
My question is: when do I have to start it (how many days before brew day)
and
What's the best way to make the starter.
I've never done this before. The yeast has been in the fridge for about two weeks now. I've seen some people say you don't need to make a starter, but I want to see some activity in the yeast before pitching to the wort.
I've seen many posts about making starters, but those are usualy for making them from smack packs or dry yeast.
Any advice?
Thanks.
