So I harvested this strain from my last batch. I made a small 6 cup starter to test viability (as I would have to make a starter from a pack if this wasn't viable in time for my brew day Sat.)
Anyways, used my 1 gallon growler with airlock, 6 cups or wort in there leaves just about 63% headspace. I starts bubbling 1.5 hours after I pitched at 65F.
I wake up this morning to see the airlock had overflowed and spilled about 2-4 TBS of yeast slurry on the table!!
This yeast is insane! A blowoff tube was needed (in hindsight) for a starter with 63% headspace...that's nuts!
