Lately I've brewed a few Lagers. I always wash my yeast cakes from the bottom of the primaries. When I do that, I get a lot of yeast in one jar; about 10oz mason jar full of yeast, almost to the top (after refrigerating). I will make a starter while I am brewing, let the yeast party for about 4 hours. I added about 1 1/2 quart starter to my 6 gallon batch that was 1.055 at 49F .... 36 hours later its at 1.010. Theres nothing wrong with quick fermentation right?
