Hello all,
I prepared my first yeast starter yesterday. I pitched around 5pm and put it on the stir plate. By around 10pm last night there was about a half inch of krausen. When I woke up this morning all the yeast cells were trying to drop to the bottom but of course the stir bar was just making them spin around. I have no idea for how many hours this was happening.
I figured fermentation was complete and there was no use in having the stir bar beat up the cells. They were obviously trying to go to sleep. I removed the starter from the stir plate and put it in the fridge.
Sound okay?
