I now use Propper Starter too.  Yes, more expensive but way easier IMO.  I still boil for 15 min tho.  Don’t trust just adding bottled or distilled.

i add distilled water for various purposes in small amounts to cooled wort and even fermented beer.

i know what you mean, i sometimes feel uneasy about it. but ive had zero infections from it and no perceptible issues.

I’ll be perfecty honest, I don’t boil any of my starters unless I’m working with a very low cell count (like stepping up bottle dregs). DME in jug, water from the fridge dispenser, shake like hell, pitch yeast. I know I’m rolling the dice, and I’m not going to suggest that others should do this, but I honestly feel that the risks are quite minimal when starting with a large cell count. I’ve never had any issues that I’ve detected, and I have no hesitations about continuing to do this.

With Propper Starter or in general? [emoji28] I never boil my Propper Starter. Just use it with bottled water and go from there. Beer is really resilient. They were making it forever before they knew what could ruin it lol

I’m sure it would be unrecognizable from beer today, but I wish I could taste the first beers/beer like beverage. I’m just curious. I’m sure if they drank our beer they would be confused as to what the hell kind of sorcery we used.

Edit: man, I should really proof read what my phone let’s me write. Several of those didn’t even make sense lol

In general. I don’t bother with Propper Starter because I just toss DME in water right out of my fridge. Livin’ on the edge  ;D
