Ya... so I'll make this real quick as I'm headed out the door to work but wanted to get it posted in case I need to run to the LHBS and pick up another packet to start over.
So I'm working on a 4L starter that I started late last night (yes, it's big, but what the recipe calls for) using 2 1gallon growlers each with 2L of wort (200g DME per 2L). I'm using Wyeast 1056.
Anyway, I clearly misunderstood the term "shake" occasionally and when I shook my first growler this morning the cap blew off, shot wort all over the roof, and generally freaked the hell out of me at 6am. LOL
It looks like I lost about 50ml out of the one growler so now instead of a 4L starter I have a 3.5L starter.
I plan to crash and decant prior to pitching. Do I need to redo the one (now 1.5L) starter or should I be good to go you think?
