Propper Starter

Propper Starter is a 16 oz. cans of condensed wort that is perfect for making yeast starters. Yeast starters increase both the biomass and vitality of your yeast, ensuring your fermentation goes smoothly and your batch turns out tasting great. Propper Starter Condensed Wort Cans are great for giving your yeast a "Propper" start, whether bring a lager, a high gravity brew, a yeast pack nearing expiration or just whenever a yeast started is needed. Quickly and easily prepare the yeast for your next batch of beer, cider or mead without waiting for water to boil and cool, or dealing with messy DME. The cans could not be easier to use. Simply mix one 16 oz. can of condensed wort and 16 oz. of bottled, distilled or boiled & chilled water to create your starter solution, add to a sanitized 2 L flask, pitch your yeast and add to a stir plate for at least 24 hours. Each 16 oz. can of Propper Starter makes one 1 L starter.

Want to make a Yeast Starter? Home brewers are always led to believe making a yeast starter is for the advanced brewer. This could not be further from the truth. If anything beginning brewers should start with yeast starters. When you think about it they are nothing more than a small extract brew. Show Me How To Make A Yeast Starter

Q: Is this recipe for a 5 gallon batch? I brew 10 gallon batches and normally double the yeast. Should I use 2 cans?

Asked by: Jeff Clements - 5/5/2021

A: 2 cans can be used for a larger starter. 1 is normally enough to cover 2000ml of wort for a starter

Q: Once you’ve added your yeast and water to the propper, how long will it last before you add it to the wort? Will it keep for hours, days , weeks, months if properly stored?

Asked by: Marty - 3/29/2021

A: This can be treated like using DME and water or LME and water for a starter. If properly stored in a sealed container in a stable temp in the fridge the Propper can last, with the yeast slurry, for use within a few weeks of the original culture being made

Q: I can use dry yeast the same way as I would with liquid yeast with Propper? Do I need to start the dry yeast earlier or will it activate the same as liquid.

Asked by: Jamie Moore - 2/11/2021

A: dry yeast can be used the same as liquid. The dry yeast typically will rehydrate within a few minutes once added to the starter

Q: How long do these cans last in the fridge? I'm guessing quite a while since there's no real concern for how the starter wort will taste, they're just to provide fuel, but I can't find any information about buying a larger pack to just have them around.

Asked by: Bryan - 9/10/2019

A: the cans are good through 1 year of production shelf stored in a cool dry place

Q: Is it necessary to use a stir plate with this item? Will it work without one?

Asked by: Michael Latzer - 8/20/2019

A: stir plates aid in the starter process but are not a 100% requirement. This can would just be the premade starter wort or " medium" we would use to culture the yeast, so it cuts the step of making the wort out of the process to simplify things
