as above what yeast? and here let me help you with your photo all the best S_M

option 4 add some of the cool wort a little at a time to the rehyrated yeast to get it to about the wort temp then pitch all the best S_M

hydrometer?

the time it takes to get from 80 to 64-65 in a freezer is forever and if you dump your wort on a yeast cake which is an over pitch to begin with and will take off like at rocket at 80 so no mystery where the off flavor will come from but if it works for you OP go for it all the best S_M

looks like a nice top fermenting yeast

gets my vote :)

28 C might be

I do like top cropping the best also, but I will brew a British mild and then use the cake for a big porter like making 11.5 gallon starter and getting beer all the best S_M

all very good points indeed myself I top crop only and just dump the yeast at the bottom sure a starter on a stir plate is good in the end what I do is what works for me I brew a lot 65 - 11.5 gallon batches in 23 months of brewing I have given lots of beer to craft beer drinkers and they...

I have gone longer, most of the time if I am brewing on schedule it is used in 14 -16 days I brew ales mostly and go grain to glass in about 10 - 14 days then brew two 11.5 gallon batches a day apart I can only fit two in my freezer, when I brew I hold back about a quart of the boiled wort...

I have been top cropping the same US 05 for a very very long time and I brew every 14 - 16 days been working great for me when I brew a bad batch I will start over with new yeast all the best S_M

I would say no and here is why people do not control the temperature of their starters to no ill effect just my two cents all the best S_M

I would pitch some of the WLP810 instead of waiting all the best S_M

if it is done it is done dry hop, cold crash, then keg drink and enjoy all the best S_M

cold break? hops? protein ? looks like the stuff that makes beer :) a starter would have helped with the 48 hour lag all the best S_M

with all that head space and at 68 F that could possible happen

dry or rehydrated ? 11 days seem like a long time

another APA and my beer goggles will be good

not really a starter I just pour off the wort covering the yeast and pour the wort I am pitching into to get it going my yeast is a couple a two three weeks in the refrigerator before I use it it is top cropped 05 and I just do this to get it going while my wort cools down to pitching...
