Hey,
I made a starter friday out of a wyeast belgian witbier activator and 1 cup DME boiled in 1 quart of water and cooled at 68F. Sterilized my jar with chlorine for 20 min and stored at 68F, smack in the middle of the ideal temp provided by wyeast. Did have some activity but no krausen. Yeast has sedimented.
Now i'm boiling and i smelled the starter and it smells sour, a bit like vinegar. Is that normal? can i pitch?
i'm boiling so need an answer quickly!!!
thanks!
