Hello All,
I have a quick question. I used a yeast starter for the first time and it went well, for the yeast I guess, not my carpet. It bubbled out my Carboy and into my holding container and onto the dresser and floor while I was at work. My Airlock couldnt handle the foam coming out, so I used a hose into a bucket of water till it settled down. That happened about 16 hrs after I poured in the starter, the wort was about 64 F. The wort was at 76 F when I found the mess. It bubbled for anoter day, slowing down and then its stopped. Is it normal with the starter to be done in 3 days? My temps are constent at about 70 to 78 F, and I resanatized the cap and hose before seting up my second air lock. The only other thing beside the use of a Yeast starter and my last batch, is I used 1 Kilo of Corn Syrup instead of 1 Kilo of Sugar.
Thanks for any help,
