Tonight I'm making my yeast starter for our brew day tomorrow. Yeast starters are a necessary method for producing great beer in certain situations. A small amount of Wyeast 3068 (Weihenstephan) will become over 2 liters of viable yeast cells ready to perform their magic, turning sugar into alchohol, carbonation and flavor.

Photo is of my homemade stir plate and 2 - 1 liter flasks of starter. Since it's a wheat beer we're brewing tomorrow, I decided to use wheat malt extract for the starter. Also in the pic is a bottle of Brooklyn Brewery's East India Pale Ale...Yum.
