So after washing yeast for the first time the other week, I decided to pitch a starter, just to make sure that I did in fact harvest some viable yeast cells. My question now, is how can I make sure that my new starter is actually viable and large enough to be pitchable? My washed yeast jars had very little in the bottom, which was slightly concerning to me, but not overly alarming. My starter which I pitched last night was 3 cups of water and 3oz of DME put into a growler with an airlock. It is bubbling now, but not crazy active. Am I worrying too much about this or should I not trust the washed yeast?
