Hey all,
I should have read up more on using liquid yeast before I started brewing this morning but I didn't. Sigh. Anyway I'm using White Labs London Ale Yeast for a stout I'm making. I put it in the fridge and now that my boil is going I read up on doing starters and see you're supposed to let the yeast sit and multiply for 24 hours or more?
What should I do? Just do a starter and let it sit for a couple hours then pitch? Pitch from the vial with no starter? Airlock the wort and pitch tomorrow? when it's fully ready?
I'm doing an extract partial boil for a 5 gallon batch.
Also, side note, when splitting my wort to two kettles for better boiling I forgot to add half my 9 pounds of DME (after steeping but before boiling and hop additions). I was going to add it all in after I combined the two pots after boiling was done. What will that do to my beer?
Thanks!
