Howdy all. I made a 4L starter with a stir plate for my 1.110 OG brew. My normal starters I let go 18-24 hours. 12 hours later (this morning) I took a look, there is a nice layer on the bottom and a LOT of krausen (or however it is spelled, foam stuff). Never had that before with my "sit on the shelf and forget about it" starters.
Should I let it keep going, or should I stop it and throw it into the fridge now? Not certain if I should read the foam as a sign that it is done. Bubbles are still rising up from the yeast, but not more foam. I am going to be using this starter in a couple days.
I would post a pic, but I am not allowed yet, alas.
Thanks for any input!
