How to Make a Yeast Starter for your Beer

Making a yeast starter can do a lot of good things for your beer. The biggest benefit you get from a starter is proper pitching rates. If you pitch the proper amount of healthy yeast you will make a higher quality product than otherwise.
Saving yeast combined with making yeast starters can pretty much replace buying smack packs after a while. I'm not sure what prices are around you, but that means I am saving $7 a batch, and around $30 a month. For me, the savings alone are worth it. Not to mention if you have the capability, then why not?

Washing Yeast

Can you really save yeast for 3+ future batches from a single yeast cake?

Yes you can, and I will show you how.

Below you can find my short video tutorial that will tell you what you need to know about washing and saving your own yeast. This has saved me lots of money already and was something that I should have learned a lot sooner!
