Hi all,
This was just my second time making a starter, so still new to the business. I made it last night and prepare to pitch it tonight when I'm done with brew day. However, my yeast starter appears to have a ton of yeast caked to the bottom. It doesn't come back into suspension when I swirl my starter around. It got caked overnight while I was sleeping. I get the feeling it is gonna stick to my starter container when I pitch.. is this bad news? Is there something I should do to loosen the cake out when I pitch?
I don't have a stir plate but I'm guessing that would prevent this in the future.
Thanks!
