I am making my first starter with Wyeast 2035 American Lager on a stir plate.
This is step one of a two step starter that will be cold crashed and decanted between steps and before pitching.
My question is when to cold crash step 1. Until this morning I had no activity in the flask but now have what looks like fermentation going on with bubbles rising.
Nothing I have read really says when it is ready only a time period for propagation (24-48 hours typically).
Are rising CO2 bubbles an indication that I let it sit too long? What should I be looking for?
