Notes

Boil a pint (1/2 quart) of water and stir in 1/2 cup of DME. This will produce a starter of about 1.040 OG. Boil this for 10 minutes, adding a little bit of hops if you want to. Put the lid on the pan for the last couple minutes. Add a quarter teaspoon of yeast nutrient. Let cool, and transfer to another jar. Pitch yeast, shake to aerate, cover, let work for about 2 days, until yeast settles to bottom.
