With a Pre-Prohibition Lager mash-extract ingredient kit on its way via UPS, I decided to get a batch of starter wort ready for the yeast's arrival. And since it is supposed to handle heat well, also to find out how well the
1000ml Erlenmeyer flask holds up to a direct natural gas flame.

So, following Palmer's instructions, 1 pint water, 1/2 cup DME, a couple of hops, all at a boil for 10 minutes, then cooled to 40ยบ F to await the yeast.

The boil went just fine, and saved having to sanitize and transfer to a second container. Nice!

The UPS tracking website says even though the package arrived in town at 9:00 am, there will be no Lager yeast today: "Adverse weather conditions. Weather conditions might delay delivery of this shipment. This is the most current information available. Please track again later for status updates."
