♦ Yeast Starter
3 cups boiling water. Add 1 cup DME to boiling water for 10 minutes. Sanitize everything and pour in Pyrex. Transfer to ice bath and cool to room temp 70°. FG: 1.040 Stir plate 24-48 hours or Swirl occasionally.
♦White Labs: Each vial of White Labs liquid yeast is designed to be used directly in 5 gallons 75-150 billion cells. One vial will usually start fermentation in 5 gallons in 5-15 hours at 70°F. One vial can be added directly to a 2 liter starter, which in 2 days will grow to approximately 240 billion cells

♦ The Decoction Method
All decoction mashes start with a single infusion step where hot water is added to the mash to start the mashing process. Typical temperatures for the first step vary. Multiple step decoctions are often used. Some examples of steps include:
