Day 4 of nothing happening I went and got some nutrients added 3 tsp and took my fish tank bubbler to it Next day tiny bubbles started 2 days after full on ripping the bubbles :) Can't wait for my first taste of skeeter pee

Well it's been two days after I added the starter. No action at all I'm thinking it's since I ran out of yeast nutrients that maybe the yeast is having a hard time with the acidity level of the lemons I'm trying to make another starter again to pitch

My bottle says it contains 21 lemons for 941 ml
