I am wanting to start a pear wine and didn't have the yeast I wanted, 71B-1122 (Brew store is 100 miles away and we're currently snowed in) and currently have some fermenting in some banana wine. I made a starter with some cut up pears and sugar water I boiled first, then opened up the ferment bin and took a couple big ladle scoops out of the banana wort and put it in the starter. How long should I let this go to grow enough yeast to throw in with a 6 gallon batch of pear wine? Temps are @ 68 degrees in the house and the yeast is working the mixture well at the moment.
