I am using this for the first time as we speak. I actually got on KZitem just to see what people thought and how well it works. I have always just done the DME route. My local brew store shut down and I was looking for a source where I could pick up my liquid yeast. Found North Texas Homebrew Supply in Plano, TX. It’s about 3 1/2 west but I have family close by and was going there anyway. The owner greeted me at the door and was super nice and knowledgeable. He had all the yeast I was looking for and asked if I had ever used proper. He gave me a can and said just try it! Pretty easy and straightforward. I just did it so I won’t have any results until tomorrow. I do love the foam stopper for the flask. It allows for really good O2 & CO2 exchange. Just soak in Star San, wring out and put in place. I know the foil & rubber band works fine. You should try a loose foil with no rubber band sometime. Your starter will get more O2 and let the CO2 escape for an even healthier starter. Great video, keep it up!

Appreciate it! I couldn’t agree more. Very simple and straightforward, and beer has turned out great. I always felt the foil & rubber band were a bit janky, and I’ve since added a foam stopper. Cheers and happy brewing 🍻

Definitely worth it for me! I don't harvest yeast....yet 😀...but seems like this would be a great way to do that on the front end too! Cheers 🍻

Never used proper starter or any canned wort. I do DME starters. But I can see where this saves maybe 1/2 hrs of time. I'll have to look at the cost benefit to see if it's worth my time. Good job!

@OZKOutdoorBrewing I guess material wise it's cheaper using DME. But estimated 45 mins to boil, cool,and pitch. My times free. There is the labor and hassle to take into account. I build a huge stater so one pack of yeast gets me two to three brews.

Honestly, I think once you start doing >1L starters (i.e. any Lagers whatsoever), the economics fall apart. Using one of these for a 1L ale starter or something wouldn't be bad. Good to have a few on hand just in case you're short on time, but if time is available, making your own would be the way to go.
