Making a Yeast Starter from Plates or Slants

Learn how to start with a single colony of yeast stored on a plate or slant and build it up to a pitchable quality to add to your wort for your beer fermentation. Brew Your Own’s Technical Editor Ashton Lewis walks you through step-by-step how to take the colony from the plate or slant and add it to a small amount of wort before systematically stepping up the quantity of wort so at the end you have enough of an active liquid yeast culture to use on a batch of beer.
