I am in the process of capturing the yeast from a sierra nevada pale ale. After a 3 days in my mini-starter, I am seeing a band of yeast developing.
Two questions . . .
1. Inevitably, some beer is being mixed into the starter with the yeast sediment from the bottle. So far, I'm not seeing any mold, but isn't mold inevitable because some beer is being mixed into the starter?
2. I drank 4 beers and mixed those into the starter, which has been at it for 3 days. With 2 left, I am continuing the process of dumping the yeast sediment into that same starter. Do any of you foresee any problems in doing it this way?
Thanks everyone!
