Wow... really just wow.

You know what bro, scrap that whole thing and dig out that old pack of US-05 from the back of the fridge and throw it in there dry. Crack a yourself a nice brewski and have a shot of bourbon. Best of luck to ya.
 
Jesus. I'm so confused.

How is your starter even carbonated?

How did you manage to make such a high gravity starter?

Why would you make a starter for a packet of dry yeast?

How did the President make your investments disappear?

Go back to what you know. Clearly it's been working well enough for you up until now. Come back to starters when you're ready.

^^This was the question I asked on the 8th when I wanted to get a starter going. I made real small ones to get old dry yeast going. but never the proper size,amount,whatever.
So let's try this again. I made a thread asking how much DME to 800mL of water. took a while,not much activity. So I took a guess. Then I reallized too late that I had grabbed the wrong bag of DME. I grabbed the light needed for the beer I'm starting the yeast for! Instead of the extra light I had a lil extra of,get it now? So I had to take the city streets to get to the lhbs in westlake cause a Bad VSS is drainin the battery,NO RESERVE POWER. But I didn't know how bad it was till I got some more DME & came out to go home.Car won't start,& i'm 20 some miles from home. And all because I used the wrong bag to make the starter that now won't settle out. It really does look like I got less yeast out then went in. And instead of brewin my beer,I hafta take my youngest to the dr since he said he hurt his back. I've got that & more piled up on me latey. When one thing goes wrong,the whole thing goes poof. And don't even get me started on that bill paddin elec co.

So this whole thread is not because making starters are hard or unneeded, but because you didn't read a label?
