Yeast Starter not fermenting

scubasteve21 · Mar 5, 2007

I have done yeast starters for my last couple of batches. I have been using liquid yeast. Last night I did another one but the airlock is not moving or has any type of activity(i.e. bubbles), but there is a lot of foam at the top of the wort. Any reason for this happening? Any ideas on how to fix without redoing the yeast starter? Thanks for the help.

Personally I never even get bubbles in my yeast starters. Chances are if you have foam you have fermentation and the CO2 just isn't getting all the way to the airlock.

Yeast starters are for growing yeast. If they switch over to fermentation, re-aerate.
