I am doing two, 1.2L starters to split between a 10 gallon batch I am brewing this weekend. I put each starter in a 2L flask. But I only have 1 stir plate (I do have a stir bar for each though).
Both starters were pitched with yeast 13 hrs ago. One went to the stir plate. This morning, both starters have about 1/2 inch of krausen.
My initial plan was going to be to give one yeast 24 hrs on the stir plate, then switch them and give the other 24 hrs. That would be Friday night. Then I could let them drop out before brewing Saturday.
With this much activity this soon, I am thinking it makes more sense to switch now and give them 12 (or so) hour shifts on the stir plate.
Thoughts?
