A yeast starter revives yeast, improves yeast health, activates metabolism and helps beer fermentation start faster. Pitching 100 billion cells (one White Labs yeast vial or one WYEAST activator pack) in a 1.5 2.0 L starter (SG of 1.030 1.040) on a stir plate will about double the number of viable yeast cells (equivalent of another vial of yeast!) needed for a 5 gal batch of ale. Grow a starter for 24 48 hrs, allow the yeast cells to settle (white solids). Brew your beer. Just prior to pitching, decant off the spent wort (liquid portion) and pitch the remaining yeast slurry into your oxygenated beer using aseptic technique. Go to www.mrmalty.com for a convenient and free Pitching Rate Calculator. Remember, yeast health and keeping your culture pure are key points in getting great results in your beer. Brew on!
