It fermented completely normally and the final gravity was right about where I expected/wanted it to be. I bottled it a week ago so I'll see how it turns out in a couple weeks. Can't wait.
Yeah I think it'll be fine. I'd love a stir plate but for now I've enlisted the whole household to swirl anytime they go by.
Gravity right now is about 1.01. Normal?
Thanks for the info. The starter is done now so we'll see what happens. I'm not looking for a clone though, just a nice belgian backbone for my saison. I can hope..
Ok I think I can handle that. I'm gonna get on it right now.
Thanks for all the help and I'll be sure to post how this thing turns out. Good luck with your next brews!
Glad you feel that way because questions keep occurring to me! I really appreciate all the help. This website is by far the best resource I've come across.
I'm obviously new to starters so do I start at 1.02 and then wait a day to up the volume? Then another day before I up the OG and so on?? Or...
Awesome. Thanks, guys.
Last question, I promise. Do I just add the yeast of one bottle to the wort? I realize the point is to get the right cell count, but does it matter what I start with?
Thanks. That is incredibly helpful. One other question though. I have a one gallon glass jug with a stopper and bubbler. Is this a good vessel for all stages of my starter?
