I made a starter (1600 ml / 5.2 oz light DME) yesterday and pitched a pack of Ringwood (1187) at approximately 17:30.
The starter has been on a stir plate for 14 hours now, loosly covered with foil, and I see no apparent signs of fermentation; starting or finished.
With the exception of being a little cloudy, it looks no different than it did last night.
I turned off the starter for an hour or two and found a fairly thick layer of trub at the bottom, maybe 3/4 to an inch. There was a decent amount of hot break material in the flask already so I am assuming this is just that, settled hot break protiens.
When working with a stir plate, do you generally see krausen or other visible signs of fermentation?
Does this sound correct for Ringwood?
