Ok, Ive never made a starter before...Ive been using white labs yeast, and I just shake it up and pitch it in....Here are my questions.
1. Can I make a starter in a 2 liter plastic pop bottle with "new" yeast, and only use 2/3 of it, then pour the rest into sanitized jars to save for more starters later?
2. What gravity, and how much DME should I use for 2 liters...I was planning on just mixing it up first and taking a hydro, then boiling it for 15 minutes, then cooling it and pitching...
3. Air lock, or Tinfoil on the top of the bottle?
4. Should I wait til I get no more bubbles to pitch, or do I want to pitch after a day when its bubbling well?
Thats all I can think of right now....Thanks in advance.
