Propper Starter™ Canned Wort | Instant Yeast Starter Mix

    Description

    • Make a yeast starter in no time flat using premade, condensed wort—just mix with water and add yeast!
    • Skip the messy, time-consuming process of making a yeast starter with DME—no boiling or cooling required
    • Keep Propper Starter™ on hand for whenever brewing inspiration strikes—shelf stable for 2 years with no need to refrigerate

    Propper Starter™ is condensed wort in a can, allowing you to make a yeast starter in minutes! No need to make a mess in the kitchen measuring out DME, and no need to waste time boiling and cooling before you pitch your yeast. Simply open a can of Propper Starter™, pour it into your flask along with 16 oz of bottled or distilled water, then add your yeast. It's that simple!

    One can of Propper Starter™ with 16 oz of water will make a 1L starter with a gravity of 1.040. It is recommended to use the 1:1 dilution rate, regardless of the original gravity of your wort.

    Making a proper yeast starter will offer higher cell counts at the time the yeast is pitched, leading to faster, healthier fermentations and better tasting beer! They're especially recommended for lagers and any beer that has an original gravity of 1.060 or higher.

    Instructions:

    • Sanitize flask, stir bar, top of can and yeast pack
    • Swirl and open can, then pour contents into flask
    • Add 16 oz of bottled or distilled water to flask
    • Pitch yeast and swirl flask to mix
    • Add stir bar to flask, cover with foil, and mix on stir plate*

    Recommended Use:

    • For high gravity beers (1.060 OG or higher)
    • For cold pitching lagers
    • For yeast packs that recommend a starter
    • For yeast packs nearing expiration
    Ingredients: water, barley malt extract, yeast nutrient
     
    Shelf life of 24 months. Refrigeration not required.
     
    *Note: the use of a stir plate is not required for making a yeast starter, but is highly recommended, as it will further increase cell count through continuous aeration. For recommended stir plates and Erlenmeyer flasks, see below under "You Might Also Need".

        Omega Yeast / Kolsch II Brew

        The package was missing 1 of 4 cans, amongst other items, and the replacement package was missing the 1 can so MoreBeer felt bad and sent me a free 4 pack for the 3rd package which was nice.I'm new to brewing and did the research before buying. I saw videos on how folks were creating starters with dry yeast and the steps involved plus the time invested. This prompted me to go the route of Propper Starter and it was super easy. The instructions are on the can and you can create your starter in approximately 5 minutes.I used a 1 liter flask and added 16 oz of water in addition to the Propper Starter and the hungry hippo yeast foamed up out of the flask. I recommend using less water or using a larger flask (2 liter).

        Easy to make a starter

        Makes it super easy to make a yeast starter. I will definitely be using this in the future for all my starters.

        Did what it said

        expensive and I usually sparge some additional wart when doing lighter beers and freeze it for future starters, but in a pinch just pop it open and you are good to go!!!

        Worth it for extra ordinary styles

        Easy to use and great for a small boost to any beer you make

        Makes a Great Starter!

        Really easy way to make a yeast starter! Product seems high quality and my yeast (WL London Ale) was very happy with it. ;-) I ended up with about 1/4" of yeast sediment in the Erlenmeyer flask after about 40 hours! Definitely recommend.

        easiest starter ever

        Propper makes doing a yeast starter easy and clean. No more mess with DME. Try it!

        Yeast on steroids

        Used it with my last 2 higher gravity beers ( a juicy IPA and a hazy). Bubbled like crazy starting on brew night and had to use a blow off tube on both batches.

        Starter for Octoberfest

        I have never had it so easy. This product is a small batch brewer's friend. I just followed product instructions to the letter and it worked. No more calculating starters for 5 gallon batches for me. Thank you More Beer for this recommendation.

        No more hour long starters.

        Only used it once so far but super easy and the beer taste great.

        Super convenient

        Even though I have everything I need to make my own starters (DME, etc.) it is noce not to have to mess around with extra steps on some brew days!

        Totally worth it, SO EASY!

        I really didn't want to spend the money on canned wort, but MoreBeer's affordable prices tempted me into trying it - I was tired of rushing through making starter wort. After the first use, I'm hooked! My stove is so much more clean now that I don't have to deal with hot break for a starter, nothing, nothing.... VOLCANO, lol.

        Propper Starter

        This stuff is great! Had been using canned wort from another supplier but they hadn’t had any in stock for over a year. Propper starter seems to work even nicer than the brand that I had been using. Not to mention the fact that boiling DME is a thing of the past!

        Easiest way to make a starter

        I am a big fan of Omega yeast and this is the best way to make a starter. Yes, it may be a little pricey, but I have kids and don't always have the time or the patience to fiddle with cooking up and cooling a starter. What more could you want? Sterlize open the can, add water, add your yeast, put it on the stir plate and done. In my opinion, the convenience is worth the price charged.

        Compared to making a mini-wort for a starter, this makes it a breeze. I'll never go back

        This made all the difference in the world on fermentation in the 2 beers I've used it with. Fermented quicker and will better results than I've ever had.

        The started itself was great and provided a robust fermentation. One of the cans however was leaking when it arrived.

        Propper Yeast Starter

        This was my first time using a Yeast Starter like Propper and it seemed to work very well. I bought a 4 pack so I'll know more about it as I use it. Very Easy !

        Nicholas B.

        This helped me create my first starter and fermentation began shortly after pitching!

        This Stuff Is Awesome!

        I've been using this lately for my 1L starters. For me it is not cost effective for 2L and 4L starters, but for that first 1L starter, this is definitely the way to go. Crack the can open, add a can worth of distilled water, and you are off and running. This cuts every bit of 25 minutes of making a 1L starter. Fabulous Product!

        Worked great

        Propper starter worked great. It was easy and don't need to use the stove. It was my first yeast starter, so nothing to compare to yet. Expense vs effort was good for me. There are so many other things to worry about anyway.

        M
        Mike S.

        An awesome product and very helpful!

        Making Yeast Starters Easier

        This cuts down on the steps for making a starter so it's perfect for anyone - especially if you're making your FIRST yeast starter. Pick up a 4 pack for best value. I might see if I can find a case of this stuff.Bonus: I decanted the fermented beer from my starter and tasted it. A nice pilsner-esque beer flavor. SG: was under 1.010. It was pleasant to drink.

        Will definitely order a few 4 packs. And only from more beer!

        This can of wort make even the laziest homebrew(me) motivated to make a starter. Easy peasy.

        Active fermentation within hours of pitching

        A nice time-saver, and rapid fermentation. I usually make my own yeast starters, so this was a great time saver. Worked as advertised.

        Easy peasy

        So much easier than making a mess on your own stove or trying to avoid boil overs. Yeast seem to like it also

        can this be used with dry yeast?
