yeast starter

[puravida286]

I was wondering if I can substitute a tablespoon of liquid malt extract for dried malt extract when making a yeast starter. Also, is an airlock necessary for the starter or can it just be covered with aluminum foil or seran wrap for 24 hours before pitching?

Yes, you can substitute your malts in the starter.

Foil over the mouth of the container is good enough.
