Made my yeast starter yesterday, but it came out thicker than i liked. 2 cups water to 1 cup malt extract. It was very syrupy when i finished, so i boiled another cup of water, let cool, then mixed it with the extract i made earlier.
Go metric next time. Much easier. 10:1 water:extract ratio. 1000 ml starter needs 100 grams of extract.

How many cups of water is that? I have a 1000 and 2000 mL erlinmeyer flask, but i never know how much water/extract ratio to put in.
Nevermind, i got the ratio. Damn. I've been undershooting my yeast starter. Granted i haven't had any fermentation problems, but i like being precise. My next starter will be 4 cups water to 3.5 ounces extract (1000mL to 100 g ratio).

I do. The reason i worry so much with brewing, is that i spend a lot of time researching to make the recipe. THen i spend about $40 on the recipe, do the prep work, all of the sanitizing prior to brewing. Then setup for brew day and brew for 5.5 hours....to have it screwed up at the first step would infuriate me to no end. Too much hard work for nothing.
