Large Yeast Starter!

Review by Larry on 5/20/2016

My 2000ml flask needed to be replaced,so I purchased a 3000ml flask. Just the correct size. The price was in line with other online stores and better than a few. The item was well packed. I was pleased as for the transit time from coast to coast.

Perfect size for starters

Pros: I looked everywhere for this size flask. 5000ml is just too big and 2000ml doesn't allow for enough head space for a 2000ml starter. I just add 2000ml water 200 grams of DME, pitch my yeast, and put it on my DIY magnetic stir plate for 18-24 hours.

Cons: Breakable, so be careful. Bigger than I expected but still fits on my stir plate.

Best yeast starter system EVER!

Pros: Add 1 cup malt to 1500 ml of warm water in a separate pan; dissolve malt, pour into flask. Install a Williams foam stopper (wet it first). Boil 15 minutes, cool in a water bath, add yeast and a stir bar and stir on a stir plate for 24 to 48 hours. Allow to settle, then decant and pitch. Twice the yeast in half the time, in a completely sterile environment. The stopper allows air in but keeps spoilage organisms out. This ROCKS!

Cons: Well, it's glass, so it's breakable - start heat & cool cycles gently, and handle with care.
