Hello again!! I’m buying an Extra Dry Irish Stout extract kit and the OG is supposed to be 1.072. They suggest in the instructions that I make a yeast starter. No other instructions than that as far as the yeast starter. They have supplied 2 packets of Wyeast 1084. My kit also includes 1 lb. Golden Light DME.
From what I’ve found elsewhere, I should have 1 liter of yeast starter for a 5 gal batch. I think that means that I mix 100 grams of DME until I have 1 liter mixture of DME and water. Then boil, cool, etc and mix in the yeast.
My first question is: is that all correct?
My second question is: do I use 100 grams of the 1 lb. of the Golden Light DME that I’m supposed to use in the recipe or do I buy additional light DME and use that? This is the site I looked at about the yeast starter formula:
