Love it. Fermentation took off like a rocket.

waiting till the time needed

Paired with a stir plate this works great for my 3 gallon batches.

Bought a stir plate but the 2000ml is a bit wonky. This kit supplied everything and the 1000ml sits better in the base. For 5 gal pitches this has worked really well.

Works as advertised.

The kit arrived quickly and in good condition. It worked just as advertised.

Came with everything I needed. Great starter kit

I have definitely used this kit. Nice size for small batch starters.

Love it. Fermentation took off like a rocket.

Any beer with an OG over 1.050 would benefit from a starter. It gives your yeast a nice running start before pitching into the wort. I love the 1000 ml size to make one pint starters for my session strength beers and two pint starters for beers in the 1.060-1.070 range.

If you're looking to get going with yeast starters, this is your kit. If you plan to brew more than 5 gallon or beer with OG's above 1.060, you might want to get the 2 liter version of this. Getting both give you room to grow and incrementally step up yeast cultures, however.

The kit was as advertized. I used the starter a few times for lager but didn't see any difference than when I used just one current date smash pak of Wyeast or White labs liquid yeast. It works great if you want to reuse your yeast though.

Should have bought two of them. Will be ordering another one soon.

I'm an avid listener to the brewing network. I have been sold on how important a controlled fermentation is. I bought this and started pitching the correct amount of yeast, and what do you know? An immediate improvement in my homebrew.

I was intimidated to begin making starters, but this was an affordable way for me to try it out. I use it for almost every brew now. I do not use a stir plate, I just swirl regularly. Making starters with this flask has made a huge difference in my fermentations. I will likely upgrade to a larger flask and stir plate at some point.

Using yeast starters really ups your brewing game. No better way to get started than with this kit. Everything you need to start growing yeast for healthy active fermentations.

If you're not using a starter. START> 5 gallon batches are far superior. After all, it's all about better beer.

As soon as you graduate from beginner to intermediate brewer you gotta get a yeast starter. Makes a world of difference.

Broke the first one via thermal shock. Ordered another from More Beer for 1/2 the cost of the original. Still using today. Will likely upgrade to larger volume soon.

Works great but really need at least 2L flask. I only use the 1L when I have multiple beers planned.

Great first starter kit. Has all the necessary components to make your first starter. Highly recommended, especially for those big beers.

I used this starter kit for a long time before upgrading to a larger flask (2000ml) and a stir plate. Has everything you need to start making better beer using a starter for your yeast.

If you are making a starter you should really be making 2L starters.

Perfect for my home brewing needs.

This is definitely a good starting point for yeast starters. I love it! Add a stir plate and you will really be in business. Making yeast starters has definitely improved my beers.

It's a big difference from direct pitch to making proper starters. For five gallon batches this is good, though i honestly find it much easier to use a sauce pan and a whisk to mix the DME properly. A drop of defoamer helps a lot too.

I bought this kit to increase my understanding about the need to create a yeast starter for better brewing and it exceeded my expectations. It was great to have everythiign I needed right there in the kit and it has helped the quality of my brewing.

Nice kit to improve your yeast additions. Consider also getting a 2L erlenmeyer flask for producing large-enough starter to go along with this, and a stir plate to speed up yeast growth.

The "kit" isn't really what you need; it's just a flask, some nutrients, and a bag of extract. Definitely I would buy the 2L flask and save up for a sir plate. After using them, results are night and day different from this kit. You can always just fill the 2L one halfway. After getting a 2L flask, I think I've only used the 1L once: when I was brewing a mead and beer on the same day with different yeasts.

Perfect for the 5 gallon brewer. This will make growing those yeast easy with the nice step by step instructions provided.

Great for the early brewer that is just wading into the deep end of brewing. I would recommend going with a 2L instead of this one. Higher OG beers will benefit from a larger starter.

This is the perfect way to enter the world of yeast starters. The quality of the flask is great and it has really improved the quality of my beer. All you need to add is a stir plate.

Using this handy kit allows me to make a yeast starter one to two days before brew, and in most cases fermentation is fully underway in less than 8 hours instead of the 24 hours without a yeast starter. Result? Less chance of spoilage and a cleaner beer with fewer off flavors, and because fermentation starts right away, less time until you're ready to bottle!
