San Diego Super yeast questions

[attyindaburgh]

So I scored a couple of vials of expired San Diego super yeast and decided to add both to a 1ltr starter. I used the calculator on the brew united site and all was looking good until I went to transfer to a 2 ltr bottle so I could chill and decant. About 10 minutes after I turned off the stir plated, the yeast was already floculating. Take a look at the pic, does this look normal for this yeast?

By the way, I asked some of my local home brewers and a couple said I looked good. No nasty smells and I did use white labs yeast nutrient along with 100 grams of dme.

Looks good to me. One caveat w/ SDSY, it has a very narrow temperature band; stay within the parameters & all is good-one of my favorite yeasts.

65 - 68 degrees. What happens if you go a little over? I was planning on using this on a ruination clone.

I ferment in the basement with a swamp cooler. Around 68-70 deg.
