I don't know if that is proper terminology .. But my question is.. I'm planning on brewing a Brewers Best IPA kit. It comes with a dry yeast.. I haven't opened the box to find out what kind.
However, what I want to know is.. Is it at ALL helpful to put the yeast into a flask with a starter to get it really going before pitching?
Reason I ask is.. I've only done two brews so far.. neither of them have formed much of a krausen.. FAR from the kind that need a blowoff. I was hoping to get something pretty active going with a lot of yeast bodies to fart CO2.
I have a flask.. and I have a stir plate in the mail..
Thanks for your thoughts... Bill
