Can wort be too dark for starter

[Chief462]

Making my first step in step up starter. Making one liter 1st step using wlp300 and muntons plain light for the wort. I usually use extra light and the wort was noticeably darker. will this affect the starter in any way. I have it on the strir plate for the next 36 hours then letting settle and pitching to 2 liter starter.

It will be fine. SRM has no effect on fermentable sugars. As long as the gravity is right, all is good.

Watch this video...36 hours on a stir plate will stress the yeast...

36 hours is not correct on my part. Its 24 hours 1st step, then 12-18 hours in fridge, then decant off and make 2 liter starter that runs for 24 before pitching. It has worked well for the last dozen batches where I need a large starter.
