Hi everyone, I am currently boiling my wort for a doppelbock. I made a 4L starter with Munich yeast, of which I shook quite often during the starter ferment. I tested the liquid after decanting and it tastes kind of nasty... sort of cardboardy/rubberish grossness.. I fermented it at about 63-65
Anyway, I wanted to know if this is typical of a starter given the higher temp, oxidation, etc....
This is pretty much my first time making a starter the right way, using all the procedures I found on this site. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. If this is not typical, I may just pitch notty and be done, as I LOVE doppelbocks and I want this to be drinkable.
