I think it was Northern Brewer that was selling cans of Fast pitch in the US and I see Noble grape has there own version....

Wort in can...

Introducing the Propper Starter!
Propper Starter is concentrated, nutrient-rich wort that makes it easy to give your yeast the proper start when preparing for your brew day. No more measuring messy DME. No more waiting to boil and cool. Simply mix one can with an equal amount of clean water in a sanitized flask to produce one litre of ready starter wort.

One (1) can of Propper Starter makes one litre (1L) starter


I've only made 2 starters so far without any issues....is this worth the 5$ ????

I saw that the other day. I was thinking... hmm, the wort is more expensive than the finished product haha :)

Haven't tried it yet, but figure I can probably get something very close to starter gravity with another pass through the grain post-sparge. Going to do this, mix with yeast nutrient, and process in mason jars in pressure cooker. (I do a lot of canning.) Have ready made starter for no money.

I know others have done this, so not an original idea...

I bought a can after seeing it in BrewYourOwn magazine, and just have used it for a lager starter. It's in the fermenter now, so I'll let you know how it works out. I'm not sure it's any great savings in time or money, seeing as you still have to boil some water for the starter either way.

I saw that in the email too. I might have to try it. Making a starter is a pain, although that’s part of the reason I’ve been using dry yeast so much lately. There’s a lot more variety than there used to be.

After making my starter last night I kinda regret not trying a can. I know it’s not super time consuming but with a 2 year old it’s hard to find time to do anything!

I bought a few can's on Friday and used one for a Kolsch Starter. It is bubbling away now in the fermentation chamber at 15.5 degrees, so it seems to work quite well. Also Saved me a ton of time with a 16 month old!
