A6ladd thank u very much for the advice. I think I am going to go with starters now. This one just took a little longer to get going than my comfort zone. It's very funny I suggested the stir plate as I just looked these up yesterday. I will be ordering mine today for sure! From what I have...

Came home and I have bubbles! Thanks for all your advice!

1.051 I haven't taken another but zero fermentation I would expect no change
