Yeast Starter Kit for Home Brewing

by Learn To Brew LLC

Product Features

• Easy To Follow Instructions

Product Description

Improve your home-brew by pitching large volumes of actively fermenting yeast. This simple process will dramatically reduce the "lag phase," the amount of time between pitching yeast and active fermentation. Consequently, DMS and other chemical off-flavors will be minimized. Make sterile wort directly in our heat-tolerant 500 ml Pyrex flasks. Once cool, pitch yeast into the wort and seal the flask with a stopper and an airlock. Once a frothy head has developed (usually in 1 to 3 days), pitch the active "yeast starter" into your fermenter. Active fermentation normally begins within 12 hours. Contains a 500ml Pyrex flask, a drilled rubber stopper, a bubbler airlock and one pound of dry malt extract.

This review is from: Yeast Starter Kit for Home Brewing

As a homebrewer I have quickly learned that making a yeast starter is the absolute best way to get the beer fermenting quickly, thus minimizing the risk of infection in the wort. This kit has everything I needed to make great yeast starters. It also doesn't hurt that this is the best price I have seen for such a kit. Highly recommended as essential equipment for any homebrewer.

This kit is a decent starter if you are just getting in to culturing your own yeast, but would be SO much better with a 1 or 2 liter flask. Also, shipping was excruciatingly slow.

The yeast starter kit comes with everything needed to give your yeast a headstart before pitching, except instructions. I'm sure I can figure it out, but I was surprised that their wasn't a page included that let me know how they thought their equipment should be used.
