So I have a high gravity IPA I'm brewing today and I made a starter yesterday with the WLP001 ale yeast. I used a flask, 3oz of DME and yeast nutrient. Boiled for 5 minutes, cooled to 68 then pitched it the yeast and put it in near my water heater as the temp dropped a little more than I wanted. No action all day yesterday and I check it this morning and no kruesen and no airlock action. I swirled the yeast back into suspension and the airlock let some pressure out, but it seems the yeast just want to fall on the bottom...very little flocculation with this one..so should i use one of my Pacman smack packs on this batch? I don't want anything to screw this one up.
What do y'all think?
