Yeah fair enough, from what I could gather I thought it had been that long. Never mind I’ll just get a standard plate then Cheers Kirk -

A starter is used to grow the yeast population. I use them to grow my harvested yeast up as by itself it isn't enough for a full batch. In this instance it's just a single step, i.e. one starter. They can also be multi step if you're starting with a really low cell count. The first step is usually 250-500mL of low OG wort around 1.020, then 1L, 2L to get the cell count up. Possibly another 4L step if required. If you're harvesting from the fermenter and using it reasonably soon after then you won't need a starter because the population is already pretty much where it needs to be. You can just pitch into the batch. Cheers Kelsey -

They're taking their time. It's been over a year since they were meant to be available. I don't know of any others though. -

So I’ve been looking through the net to find a good heated stir plate. The yeast forge from digital homebrew looks like the go just no stock nor is there an expected time frame of restocking. Well it says expected in March. http://www.digitalhomebrew.com/yeast-forge Does anyone know of a temp controlled heated stir plate on the market that is actually available similar to this? cheers Kirk
