This is my first yeast starter, using Wyeast Bavarian Wheat. The yeast was a little old which is why I decided to make a starter. It has been sitting for about 36 hours, and I will be brewing later this evening.

Can I use this or should I just use some Coopers Dry? It is for a Hefe.
This is the most krausen it has developed, pic taken a few minutes ago
Thanks for any replies, cheers :mug:

Have you been trying to oxygenate it?

It looks like it's trying, but if it's been left un agitated for all of the 36 hours it's kind of hard to tell.
 
No, I haven't aerated, at the beginning or at all. I was wondering about that too....

Will shaking be too hard on the yeast? Stir it?

Thanks
 
Yeah, just shake it. A lot.

As jds said, it won't help much tonight, but in the future, shake the crap out of it anytime you can.
 
Thanks guys, thats what I needed to know and a good link.
All in under an hour, I love this forum:D
Thanks, Cheers :mug:
