Howdy,
I made 2 starters this week. A friend and I are going to split a 10 gallon Tripel. Mr Malty called for a 1L/1 vial starter for 5 gallons. As an experiment I made 1 starter of WPL530 and one of WPL550. Both were made with 200g of light DME and a pinch of yeast nutrient in a 2L erlenmyer flask with a stirrer and a foil cap. Both spewed thick tan yeast all over the outside of the flask and table in about 24 hours. This seems to happen to about 80% of the starters I make.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I just need a 5L flask?
Thanks.
