Skeeter pee without slurry?

[Cheryl]

I do not currently have a yeast slurry available, can I make skeeter pee out of fresh yeast? What changes must I make?

Yep you sure can. Just add a packet of your favorite wine yeast to your must. I really couldn't tell the difference as far as taste goes when I used it and not used the slurry.

Not necessary to have a slurry. Just makes it easier for the ferment to take off and adds a bit of flavor from the origional ferment. Should work just fine without the slurry, but will probably take a bit longer to get going.

No changes are necessary. I have made skeeter per about 5 or 6 times, never used a slurry. But I do make a vigorous going yeast starter.

I use e-1118 nearly every time, not slurry.
