I'll be brewing my 5th batch relatively soon and have not yet used a yeast starter. I want to start using this method but I have two problems- one is a suitable container to put a starter in. The other is that since I order all of my kits pre-packaged (I order kits from Homebrewer's Outpost) I always end up using all of the hops, malt, and grains for the batch. How can I get the small amount of ingredients needed for a yeast starter? I was thinking of buying an Erlenmeyer flask from HBO but I'm not sure what size (in ml) i need for a 5 gallon batch.
Thanks,
Rob
