On my last brew I finally made a starter for the yeast. Downside: I had to plan and prepare at least a couple days ahead, Upside: essentially instantanious and vigorous fermentation. Ok fine, so I will plan more gooder in the future, I'm a convert. Now I just need to build an aerator of some kind.
I was searching online to see whats out there that my LHBS doesn't carry and I found several varieties of "yeast nutrient" or "yeast energizer". Is that basically a premixed starter? Should/Could it be used in addition to a starter if it is different?
And finally is there a handy resource someone can point me to that indicates how well specific strains of yeast do in a high alcohol environment?
Thanks,
dylan.
