Yeast starter help me out !!
I'm so annoyed at myself I bought a gallon of grape juice and I didn't check for preservatives.
It's got potassium metabisulfite and I've heard that I could still maybe use it for a brew if I used a yeast starter (I think the deal is the preservatives stop new growth but can't kill active yeast or something???)
I'm super impatient and I don't wanna wait another week to get the yeast going before I can start this gallon
I have a tiny tiny bottle of actively fermenting hooch (~ 2.5 L, day 5), could I use some of that as a yeast starter?? Or at least like an accelerant? 🤔
Also if I was gonna do that would I just pour off a little more than 2.5 L from the gallon of grape juice and just add in the other brew? Or do I just siphon off a little of the other bottle, mix it with more yeast and then add it the grape juice 🤔
ok guys help me out pls
