Yeast Starter
Put together a starter batch for #16 in order to see if it helps with a more complete and rapid fermentation. I took 4oz of water boiled it and combined 1/3 cup of LME from the next recipe, allowed it to cool and added the already activated smack pack to it after it reached room temp making sure to aeriate well before hand. It turned out okay and started to slightly release CO2 as evident from the bulging glove that I attached. We'll see how it does...
