IS A SMALL AMOUNT OF BEER WITH AN ACTIVE YEAST USED FOR PITCHING LARGER AMOUNTS OF YEAST IN THE WORT AND A QUICKER FERMENTATION.

A culture that normally consists of varying percentages of lactic acid bacteria or mold spores, enzymes or other microorganisms and natural chemicals which is used to speed and control the process of curdling milk during cheesemaking.

small amount of weak wort used to build up the yeast colony for addition to unfermented beer.Reduces lag time in fermentation.Larger volumes aid in a faster and more vigorous fermentation but this is not always wanted.

The bacteria added to milk at the very beginning of the cheesemaking process. The starter serves to acidify the milk, speeding along coagulation, and also adds to the complexity of flavor.

a culture containing yeast or bacteria that is used to start the process of fermentation or souring in making butter or cheese or dough; "to make sourdough you need a starter"

a bread leavening agent that contains a wide spectrum of wild biological ferments, mold and digestive enzymes, all contributing to the health of the intestinal flora

a fermented batch of flour and water, sometimes with additional leavening, that eventually becomes a culture of wild/natural yeast

a mixture of flour, water, and baker's yeast that been set out so that it can be colonized by airborne yeast and friendly bacteria

a mixture of flour , water, and other ingredients that's been colonized by wild airborne yeast and friendly bacteria

Wild yeast and bacteria that is fed in the bakery through regular additions of flour and water. Grand Central has starter that is 12 years old. A healthy sourdough starter is sometimes referred to as "mother".

Bacterial culture which produces lactic acid - tastes like yoghurt.

activating yeast cells prior to pitching in order to increase the amount of active yeast cells introduced to the wort.

A small volume of wort to which yeast is added, in order to activate it before it is pitched into the main batch.

A mixture of flour and water also incorporating a culture of wild yeast and lactobacilli. Some starter recipes also contain potatoes, milk, and many other things. Store your starter in a glass crock or ceramic container. Never use metal bowls or steel containers when working with starters or sourdough. The natural acids will react with aluminum, silver, or your steel kitchen utensils, corroding them and ruining the flavor and health of your San Francisco Sourdough Starter.

a small amount of wort used to start the yeast prior to pitching.

A culture that normally consists of varying percentages of lactic acid, bacterial or mold spores, enzymes or other micro-organisms and natural chemicals. Starter cultures speed and control the process of curdling milk during cheesemaking in part by converting lactose to lactic acid. They also lend unique flavor characteristics to the cheese.

An electronic module or device used to assist in starting a discharge lamp, typically by providing a high-voltage surge.

A device that controls the use of electrical power to equipment, usually a motor.

A starting switch needed for preheat fluorescent fixtures to "start" or light a lamp. It preheats the lamp cathodes and also provides a powerful electrical "kick" to jump the current through the lamp from cathode to cathode.

Electrical motor that cranks the engine, enabling it to start.

A device used with a ballast to start preheat fluorescent lamps.

Gas powered walk-behind lawnmowers have two types of starting mechanisms, recoil starter and electric starter. The recoil starter is the typical starter that requires you to pull a handle attached to a rope turning the engine allowing it to start. Today's recoil starters usually start within two pulls, not the many tiring pulls you remember from your youth. An electric starter requires the push of a button.

Magnetic coil that strikes an arc between electrodes when a fluorescent bulb receives electricity

A motor powered by the battery that rotates the crankshaft before the engine is started.

An electric motor that turns the crankshaft in order to start the engine.

The Ignitor within Fluorescent control gear.

A high-torque electric motor used for the purpose of starting the engine, typically through a high ratio geared drive connected to the flywheel ring gear. Figure 26 Starter motor assembly location

A high-torque electric motor used for the purpose of starting the engine, typically through a high-ratio-geared drive connected to the flywheel ring gear. Synthetic Oil Non-petroleum based oil. Tie Rod A rod connecting the steering arms. Tie rods have threaded ends that are used to adjust toe-in.

A small electrical motor that causes the engine crankshaft to begin to turn, which starts the engine running and so starts the car.

Full size engines employ various starting techniques including high volume air supplies from an on board gas turbine or ground trolley or even the gasses rapidly generated from a large cartridge struck by a firing pin whilst others use electric starter motors.

This is an electrical motor that cranks the engine by moving a drive gear into the flywheel, thereby rotating the crankshaft.

1. Automatic switch, in a fluorescent lamp, which triggers the ballast. 2. Switching device that starts and stops a motor.

The combination of all the switching means necessary to start and stop a motor, in combination with suitable overload protection.

Power-operated engine accessory or motor used to start the engine; most commonly starters are, electrically powered, with air power sometimes used on diesels.

The official who's responsible for ensuring a fair start. He or she gives the command, "Go to the start," followed by "Ready." After the skaters have been motionless in the ready positon for a second or more, the starter fires a gun as the signal to start the race.

1) An official responsible for ensuring a fair start to the race, the starter supervises the loading of horses into the starting gate through a gate crew. He/she also has control of the opening the gate. 2) A horse that is in the starting gate when the race begins, whether he runs or not.

the official who signals the beginning of a race or competition

a horse that leaves the Derby starting gate

The starter controls each event from the point the referee gives him control until the race has begun. He must ensure that each swimmer is in the correct lane and that the starting signal is correctly given. He and the referee are the sole judges as to whether the start is valid.

Person responsible for starting a horse race.

should synchronize his watch with those of assistant starter, and by telephone or radio with the chief timekeeper within ten minutes of the start; is responsible for warning signal and start command as well as for accuracy of the intervals between these signals; assigns supervision of competitors to assistant starter [2.2.2.1].

The person responsible for starting a harness race, whether it be a mobile or standing start event. In a mobile event, the starter controls the start of the race from the back of the mobile vehicle, while in a standing start event, the starter controls the start from the track sidelines. The starter also decides when and if a false start should be declared.

Official that starts the race by giving the start commands and by using a flag as he or she says the commands.

A greyhound becomes a starter for the race when the doors of the starting box open.

the official at a meet responsible for giving the starting signal to each heat.

official who starts the race.

A kart does not have its own starter engine, like a regular car. Rather, like in many race cars, it uses an external starter. This is typically an electric motor, mounted together with a car battery, driving an axle which can be stuck on the outside end of the crankshaft of the engine. Pressing the button on the starter will turn over the engine. Some 4-cycle engines can be started by hand, however.

The official in charge of moving swimmers to the start position, signaling the beginning of the race, and ensuring that all swimmers got a fair start.

the official who gives the start commands to the competitors.
