I went to ballast point and also American home brew supply this week to get what I needed for a DIPA that I wanted to make. The thing is hoppy!
Here's the deal.
Ballast point, where I got the recipe and also AHBS said that I should skip making a starter with the white labs liquid yeast. Too much chance of contamination and such.
I just did my boil and aerated and mixed it up real well, took a reading and it's 1.09 ish.
White labs says to make a starter for over 1.07. I assume this is just going to take a while to start if I just pitch it?
Waiting for ~75 degrees in the fermetor right now to pitch the yeast (and wait for some replies from you guys.). But if I have to make a starter I have to let the batch sit for a while while it gets going.
Do I...
pitch it at 75 ish and forget the starter?
make a starter and let it sit?
Thanks. I have an idea what to do but don't want to poison the conversation.
Gonna take the dog for a walk while it comes down 5 degrees or so.
Thanks.
