So i harvested some yeast from some Heady Topper recently and i used way more wort than i should have.. 32oz at 1.040 with 3 cans of dregs.
No activity until day 4. now there is about an inch layer of foam, smells fine (like fermenting beer), with a small layer of yeast on the bottom.
Has anyone had used starters that have lagged like this successfully?
Usually my starters ferment out within 2 days max. I am kind of worried and i don't want to ruin a 5 gallon batch.
How should i proceed? is there any way to see / tell if my started has been compromised? or should i make a 1 gallon test batch and use the yeast for that?
Thanks in advance!
