I am an extract brewer who is preparing to make the jump in to all grain brewing within the next couple of months. Up to this point I have used dry yeast packets for extract fermentation. Question is, can I use the dry yeast packets for all grain brewing? If not, what should I use? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've seen numerous videos on youtube where the brewer used a smack pack. None of them have used dry packets.
I've also seen people making yeast starters. What is this? Are they making there own yeast? Is this effective? If so, can some one give me easy to follow instructions on how to culture/create your own yeast? Thanks for any and all input! Happy Brewing!
