I haven't thought of doing that, and I just put another dose ofyeast in being impatient like I always am. If I don't get anyresults my way do you think it would hurt the lemonade to puta "starter" in plus the 2 double doses of yeast? I don't wannawaste all my yeast, I know it's kinda reuseable, but I don't want itto take off and be really strong. One more question, how longshould I let it clarify to "reclaim" the most yeast from the mix?--- Steve wrote:> If you are interested in speeding up the process without> using all your yeast I recommend that you make a yeast "starter"by adding a> dose or two of yeast to a 1/4 cup of tepid water with 1 or tsp ofsugar.> Let that sit for an hour before adding to the EZ Caps yeast.
