  • Do you need to make a starter with a yeast packet like that or can you just pitch it directly into the wort?

  • @tnastymcP That is a very complicated question - here's an oversimplified answer

    ; )

    For low-gravity or even standard-gravity ales (anything lower than about 1.045 OG) you can pitch one pack of yeast directly into the wort and get good results. For higher gravity ales and all lagers, a yeast starter is the best practice. For more details, please visit our website!

  • Cool. Can you guys put some really simple step-by-step instructions in your description?

  • @phillijw .... we added the pdf link to the description. Thanks... keep brewing!

  • Just mixed up my first batch of yeast starter and its on the mixing plate . tomorrow we brew our first patch of Dead Ringer wife bought me for Christmas.

    Thanks Northern Brewer she's been shopping with you more then me this holiday season, Sweet..

  • Instead of using your fingers to fish out the stir-bar, you can dunk a set of kitchen tongues into the same mixture and use that to carry it from the sanitizing solution to the erlenmeyer. Just a thought.

  • @NorthernBrewerTV

    This is exactly why I told my girlfriend and relatives to buy me products from Northern Brewer for Christmas. Thanks!

  • Ugh. These videos are great, but the whole "homeless guy strumming a guitar music" is just awful. Mute.

  • just whipped up my first yeast starter, now it's just chillin on the stir plate!! Thanks northern brewer!

  • Always wanted to order yeast from Northern Brewers and to try and make bread with it. could be yummy to use a yeast with an actual flavor profile instead of the normal mass produced stuff. Keep up the good work. Hummm Maybe instead of just yeast I should make some yummy liquid bread. All hail the beer
