Hello folks,
So in a couple of days I will be starting my third brew ever. So far I've brewed two extract kits, one with specialty grains, and this will be my first partial mash brew. I'll be making Northern Brewer's Oatmeal Stout kit.
I've done little more than open the box and I've already noticed one mistake!
I was planning to make my (first ever) yeast starter tonight, and because I didn't properly read up on the subject before ordering, I ordered Munton's Plain Dark DME for my yeast starter.
Now this might be fine for this particular beer (I think...?) but if not, the kit contains a pound of DME.
Could I just dip into that for my starter?
How much should I take? I've got a half gallon mason jar to pitch my starter into.
Any help is much appreciated! ...and I'm sure I'll need a lot over the next few days, haha
Thanks!
