Started with 1.4L of wyeast and the dme mixture added together. Started it yesterday at 4pm so it was about 24 hours old. I ended up filling it up to 1.7L because it seemed to have a lot of yeast left in the flask. We’ll see. I learned how much fun cleaning up spilled/burned malt off a...

Trying to figure out how much malt wort to add to this amount of left over yeast starter. I thought I split it up evenly but I rushed things and didn’t decant it properly with enough time and amount of times. I have about 1.5 liters of cooled malt wort. From this picture can someone estimate...

Thanks, it sounds easier to harvest the yeast rather than making a starter from previous starters again each time.

Forgot about using bottles spring water. Much easier than having to boil and chill. Is honey with the nutrients as cost effective as the dry malt? I never buy honey. Don’t think I ever have.

That one picture from the top that has dark spots looks suspicious to me.

Possibly due to all the people stuck at home and brewing who just started again or are new. My local shop was out of a common liquid yeast from White Labs and Wyeast. I had to wait for it to be shipped there which took a couple days. I just started an oversized starter for the first time...

I forgot about adding the malt before letting it get to a boil, almost made a big mess and it all clumped up. Was a pain to get it mixed in. Took a while to chilll in the glass too because glass doesn’t transfer heat well. I’ll chill in the pot next time.

I use a Pyrex brand flask, I literally just read that article about the Fermcap S and I’m looking it up to buy now.

I was going to ask about the difference between making an oversized starter and harvesting yeast from the fermenter. That helps answer that. From what I understand, having a yeast slurry with an ABV of some percentage can help keep it from becoming infected. Most harvested yeast from the...

Thanks glad to finally make an account. Ok great thanks! Now that I know the term I can research some more them test it out.

I know how to wash yeast from a fermented batch of beer from reading online thoroughly. I have not done it yet though. I’m currently making a starter with a stir plate and a 2L flask. I’m wondering if I could just make a 2L starter, pitch half of it and put the other half safely in the...
