Instead of using DME for yeast starter, could I use some of my runnings off a sparge that are around 1.030 or so for a yeast starter? Of course they would be transfered to a sanitized container, and should I boil the runnings before pitching the starter? Seems more cost effective than paying for extract just to make a yeast starter. Or could I just take some post boil wort and save in sanitized container for starter? Another thought I was having is to make a small batch just for that purpose all together.
