- Break inner bulb in yeast packet and shake well. This may be accomplished using the instructions on the yeast packet or by gently popping bulb against the edge of a countertop or table. This allows the yeast to reach the sterile wort inside the packet and begin to feed.
- Allow 1 day for every month since your yeast was packaged for your yeast packet to swell. When the packet is swollen to at least 1î tall (preferably 1-1/2î), brew your batch of starter DME (6 ounces DME to 1 quart .of water). Boil starter for 10-15 minutes, cover and cool to 70-75deg C.
- Add to sanitized starter bottle (1/2 gallon jug or similar).
- Sanitize the outside of the yeast packet and a pair of scissors and cut the corner from the packet.
- Pour contents into your starter bottle and cover with airlock and stopper or aluminum foil.
- When starter has a head of foam, brew as normal.
- You may also brew a larger amount of starter at this point and divide your original starter among more containers for additional batches of starter..
