I wouldn't in fear of oxygenating the beer and producing some weird flavors. Like you said the yeast is done doing its thing already.

Thanks guys

So you think that just a single 2000mL starter on the stir plate will do? Two days then cool and decant?

I'll be using wyeast 2035, the date on it is Jan. 7th which should give me 79% viability? I also left out that I did buy a stir plate and a 2000mL flask.

So I'm going to be brewing my first lager next weekend and have been doing some research on yeast starters. My OG is 1.059, so what I have come to the conclusion of is that I need to do a two part starter. If I do a 1.5mL starter then cool and decant, then another 1.5mL starter cool and decant...

Hi All, I am about to brew my first lager and the recipe that I'm using/tweaking says: Grind 8 oz. of Rice Solids, then boil for 20 minutes until soft and add to the mash. My question is, are Rice Solids the same thing as the rice I use in my kitchen? Also should the Rice Solids be added...

It's cool

I think you may have read that wrong, there is only 12 oz. Of Munich type 2 in it, but switching to a German version might help with the toastiness.

I brewed a milk stout three weeks ago (original gravity of 1.066) and I checked the gravity today to bottle only to see that it was only at 1.026 (not 1.017 in the recipe). I put it back in the closet for another week but am wondering if I will have to repitch yeast next weekend when (and if) it...
