Well Gents- It has been accomplished!!!
Now if I could figure out how to post a picture a would show you the results.
Thanks

Post a few more times. Then you can post pictures. That keeps the bots out.

No worries. The alliteration in "Cup to a Quart" has helped me out (well not recently, I switched over to AG starters years ago, but that was how I always remembered when I was doing DME starters). 100g to a L, as Spidey suggested is more accurate, but roughly the same ratio. You just don't have to worry with starter wort all that much. 1.037 works, 1.043 works; it's just not all that critical.

It only works for general growth, though. If you're dealing with zombie yeast or trying to propagate up a culture from a bottle, for example, you have to be a little more gentle & precise.

Or you need to host the photo on some sort of online picture thing... can't upload directly, you'll need to post a link with Img [tags].

I think Whitey uses 1.030 wort to propagate yeast because they're his children. We're bad parents so 1.045 is even fine.

I use the old 3 oz/qt or 6 oz/2qt. Like Oz says it gets you close enough. Be sure to add some yeast nutrient to help those yeasties grow.

Ahh, nutrient my old friend. If it even looks at your starter wort, it better have nutrient in it.
