i have been looking to make a starter for the first time, relatively new brewer here.
all the info i have seen is regarding using a stir plate and i have some questions regarding not using one.
i will be using a 1 g glass carboy. So basically i understand ill be making 1.5-2 l starter wort, cooling it down, aerating, pitching yeast a day or so prior.
However, should i be using an airlock or foil on top?
Also, the yest will settle at the bottom, should i continually swirl it up to keep it suspended? Should I do this prior to pitching? I see people stating they put it in fridge prior to pitching? These details were hazy and any help with my questions would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!
