So a long long time ago in a land far far away, I came up with the idea of canning wort for starters. Simple mash bill, brief boil, add nutrients, and shot for 1.040....
Then i got the bright idea of canning my starters at 1.080, then i can use a 1qt jar, mix with 1qt water, and boom! 2L starter... Well with all the break etc in the starters after pressure canning it usually takes 1.5 jars to mix with 1qt of water to make a starter.. So my most recent experiment was to make my canned starter to 1.110...
Haven't used any yet, but looking forward to giving it a shot next weekend. Anyone else here do anything like this? Got any thoughts, tips, tricks you've learned over the years?
Nowadays i see theres companies making this product commercially "Propper" i think was one brand i saw, but that crap is expensive!
