This starter kit is for growing yeast starters. The idea is that the starter acts as a mini batch of beer where the yeast cells replicate before being pitched into your 5 gallon batch. More yeast means fermentation starts faster. The bacteria and wild yeast that got into your beer during the transfer from kettle to fermenter have less chance of creating a negative flavor impact in your beer also the increased cell count is needed for high gravity beers (above 1.060 OG). Instead of using 2 or even 3 packs of yeast, grow your own healthy yeast to prevent a brewing disaster. Kit Contents: 1000ml Erlenmeyer flask Foam Stopper (allows starter to breath during propagation) 1 lb Pilsen Light DME (Dry Malt Extract) 1 oz Yeast Energizer / Nutrient Instruction sheet for making yeast starter using your kit
