    Yeast starters overflow every single time

    Why is it that every single time I make a yeast starter, it foams up and overflows. I’m using a 2L flask and from a 1L starter to a 2L starter it overflows. I’ve used fermcap and it still overflows. What’s the point in having a stir plate if every single time it overflows and makes a mess. I...

    Can I make and split a yeast starter indefinitely?

    I know how to wash yeast from a fermented batch of beer from reading online thoroughly. I have not done it yet though. I’m currently making a starter with a stir plate and a 2L flask. I’m wondering if I could just make a 2L starter, pitch half of it and put the other half safely in the...
