Chunky Starter

brewprint · Sep 29, 2014

I've had a couple starters that look similar to this. This is the wyeast 1968 with a 1 liter starter. Does this just mean that I've had a massive reproduction?

mine always looks like that.....WLP-001/002
I almost never get krausen, just gets all kinda chunky like that, but never fails to bubble away.

Yeah it seems some do it and some don't. Not sure why.

1968 is really flocculant and you'll get a really chuncky yeast starter almost everytime, or at least that has been my experience

Yup, that's exactly what 1968 looks like, cottage cheese in a vortex

WLP-002 does that to me also, but 001 always looks like coffee creamer.

I realized after the boil that I read the measurements wrong and it had only 750ml of water with 4.1 ounces of DME. I topped it off with water from the faucet and wasn't sure if I had something going on.
