Made my first starter on Saturday for brewing another batch of NB Cream Ale (great lighter beer btw, 5G didn't last long with friends). I saved the yeast from the first batch and used it for this one. Same recipe, but this time a much more active fermentation. The first batch had about a 2" krausen. I expected the same being the same recipe, so I put an airlock on and called it good. Here's a shot of it this morning (36 hrs into fermentation) when I had to add a blow off tube.
I'm planning to brew another batch of NB Dry Irish Stout tonight, which had a fermentation similar to this. I wonder how much blowoff I'll have from it using a starter!
