Simple Beer Yeast Starters and how to maintain them long term cheaply

Simple Beer Yeast Starters and how to maintain them long term. Keeping it simple with yeast, DME (Dry Malt Extract), Spring Water, and a little yeast nutrient.

Other items used:
Whisk, scale to weight DME, measuring cups, pot, mason jars, tin foil, and stir bar. Also home made stir plates using cigar boxes, 120 mm computer fan, earth magnets, and old 12v power adapters.

In this video I simply show you how to make wort for a yeast starter and I use about 0.67 ounces by weight of DME per 6 ounces of water. Heat, stir, cool, and pitch with a stir bar of course. After 24 to 36 hours I simply put the jars in a fridge to cold crash before pouring off excess malt and pouring the yeast with some malt back into a smaller mason jar for long term storage in the bottom drawers of my beer fridge. I repeat this process about every 4 months for all of the yeasts I maintain.
