Cooled, pre-boiled water. Mix it in roughly 50/50 & swirl. Wait 10-20 minutes and pour into another sterilized container, that takes care of the settled stuff - proteins, over flocculant yeast, etc. Wait another 10-20 minutes, pour a bit off the top down the drain to get rid of the not so flocculant cells. This leaves you with the best stuff. Start from a sample of krausen instead of the slurry left over and you'll get some pretty powerful stuff.
