Morning guys,
I'm stepping up a lager yeast..
I started with a smack pack and let its do its magic on a stir plate with dme..
After 36 hrs I cold crashed and decanted.. Then made another batch of dme. Threw it in the flask and put it back on the stir plate for another round..
Within an hour it was going crazy and 5 hours later was in full swing rumbling like crazy...
Now 15 hrs later It's done ? Everything is flat with no signs of action anymore.
Is this starter done ? Can I take it off the stir plate after just 15 hrs ? Or is there a point to leave it on for another 24 hrs..
I ask this cause I wanna make another yeast starter with a different strain so I need the stir plate.. Was gunna leave this starter in the fridge for a couple days before brew day.
