Ordered Wyeast 1318 from morebeer for a NEIPA, it arrived with a date of 2/24! So I got a starter going with 1.75L, after adding yeast I had ~ 2L so I split into two beakers and left on strr plates (I have 2) for about 36 hours. One of my stir bars sucks and I had to keep getting it back going so it didn't get the full stir. Anyways after all of this I hope to have ~ 300 billion cells.
But - I never experienced much of an active ferementation which has me a little worried. I could have missed it but I never really saw a krausen, and there was no evidence there was one - like the sides of the beaker weren't caked with any residue.
Can anyone share their experience with a Wyeast 1318 starter? Should I RDWHAHB?
