Hey Everybody,
I wanted to try an experiment with freezing some yeast. I have everything I need, but I wanted to do enough of a starter to make 4 50 mL aliquots, 2 to brew with and 2 to try to freeze. I made up a starter with about a cup of DME in about 900 mL of water. After I force it to settle in the fridge do you think that this will be enough yeast to stretch or should I settle it and add some more DME to build up again.
FWIW this was the most active starter I've made so far. I pitched the vial of White Labs Cali Ale yeast and it fermented up into the arilock on my flask and took about 4 days to ferment out!!
