So I ordered some WLP001 from more beer. Had it shipped in ice packs. It took two days to get here so I know that it was at god knows what temp for 24 hours. when I received it I immediately placed it in the underground cellar where I ferment. Then I mashed and boiled a perfect 1.040 wort from 2-row pale. Cooled and let that sit next to the slants for a few hours then aerated and pitched. No stir plate. shook it up every 8 hours. Was late on my mash and didn't get the starter pitched till 48 hours . Other than the late pitch, I think I did ok. I do not have any DME and from what I researched the yeast should build better enzymes suited to digesting my wort if I use a similar starter. I would love some advice on this from someone who has done it. Haven't heard from anyone who has. I can't seem to find much info on this.... This is my first starter and my first all grain. I'm at 6 hours past pitch and it seems to be going OK so far but I have 3 more batches to do and I would like some input before proceeding. Thanks!!
