For many years I had bad luck at getting attenuation down into "single digits" (1.009 or lower). Mine were usually stuck at 1.014 1.012 1.018 for bigger beers but never showing a healthy fermentation. Now after having done 4 batches using starters every single one has had greater attenuation than I've ever had in the 10 years prior. Yeast cakes seem more solid and compressed residual sugar is less. Pretty much everything is just better now. Cons: More a nit-pick than a "con". The volume graduations on the flask are way off. Thankfully the 2L flask actually has a volume considerably larger than 2L which is nice. For instance my flask at the 1600ml line is actually a full 2L. If you use a scale and weigh the water you can see how far off they really are. Maybe even calibrate with a paint marker and new lines. It's not a big deal it's not like I'm using it for measuring. But just be forewarned the volume lines are far enough off that you do not want to measure anything important in this. I boil starters 15 minutes and if I start with the flask at 2L and boil that long I get about 2L at the end after 20% boil off.

Good quality flask and send to work well. Wish they offered an advance kit that included the foam stopper and a sitting magnet. Realize with only comes with 8 oz of DME so you'll need more after making a couple starters.

I have a Kimax flask and the opening is much wider. That makes it teasy to reach in thee and stir up DME. Harder to do with this flask.

Great 2L flask. Good for big starters.

Looks to be good quality! Made a nice healthy batch!

Item matched description and arrived in good condition. Quick shipping too.

Made it real easy but recommend getting stir plate. Made a big diff compared to just shaking the flask manually

Making a starter is super easy. Should have done this along time ago. I recommend buying or making a stir plate too.

Works as described. My beer has drastically improved with proper yeast starters.

Everything I needed to get a batch of yeast happy and growing... And at a great price!

I follow the instructions as written except i boil the ingredients in a different pot then pore the boiling wort into the sanitized glass container to prevent boil over.

This is my first yeast starter kit and I have been pleased with the quality of product that I received. I do recommend this product and also you need to find a good yeast calculator online that will give you specific measurements.

Gives me the volume I need and works great on a stir plate.
