I thought I would make a my first yeast starter and make a DIY stir plate all in the same night. Well the stir plate is a no go. For now anyway. Not too worried about that. Pretty sure I can trouble shoot and fix. However. With my yeast starter I wonder how long til it is ready to pitch. It was us-05 I hydrated the yeast then pitched in a flask. It has now been about 4 hrs since I pitched the starter. #1 how do I know it is ready ( no stir plate)? # 2. If there is fermentation in the starter and I have trub on the bottom of flask do I want to pitch the trub as well in the primary? Or leave the trub out?
