I made a starter using WPL001. Mr Malty said 1.5 liters for Pliney the Elder clone. I made a 2.5 liter starter to have some left over for other uses. The photo is what my starter looked like in about 36 hours. It did not continue "boiling over" after the initial time. A day later I pitched 1.5 liters of this starter into my Pliney, then stoppered the remaining and put in the fridge. The neck had a thick creamy substance in the neck I had to spoon out to get to the wort.
Why did this happen?
I guess I will find out if it is okay when I sample the Pliney.
I am planning on stepping up the 1 liter fridge to pitch a 10 gallon of Brown Ale. Should I trust this starter?
