I just received my yeast starter kit and stir plate form more beer.
My plan was to make a yeast starter Sunday for my upcoming brew day on Tuesday. My plan was to buy a new WL001 and go from there, but today I swapped my blow off tube from my fermenting batch, and went to a bubbler as Krausen is starting to fall . Yesterday I had Krausen bubbling up and out of my blowoff tube into my sani water bowl. Anyways, when I went to dump my water bowl I noticed what I assume is yeast at the bottom of the bowl. I went ahead and transferred maybe 2 TBS into a sanitized mason jar.
Can I start early and use this as my base yeast and grow a large enough starter from this?
Will there be enough time for this to grow enough for a high gravity(1.080ish) brew on Tuesday?
