Hello,
I have made many yeast starters and this one has me worried. When I was boiling the DME there was an unusual amount of foam. I thought maybe it was a good hot break so I thought nothing of it. Then I poured the wort into my 2L flask and still saw some foam, I figured this would be from the StarSan. Now I have the flask on my stir plate and foam is still there.
The pot I used was just washed by my wife, I'm thinking maybe there was still some soap residue on the pot. This is a 1L starter with Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale yeast. After 10 min on the stir plate there is still soapy residue on the flask and in the wort. From my experience StarSan foam would have been gone by now.
Do you think soapy residue will kill the yeast or have negative affects on my starter? I would hate to start over and spend another $7 on yeast. My gut feeling says RDWHAHB and finish out the starter. What do you all think? Here's a photo....
