I got a vial of wlp830 from my local hbs. Did a 2 quart starter at room temp for 36 hours. Never noticed any activity, but I was at work or asleep most of that time.
I figured it was done. Put it in the frig at 35 to get the yeast to settle out so I could decant.
Went to decant this evening and noticed the yeast was still suspended. It's been in the frig 48 hours. I took the air lock off and took a wiff......smells like corn, definitely not a yeast smell. I did a gravity check and it's still at 40.
I'm leaving it out at room temp again to see what happens.
Anyone know what's going on here?
