I did make a starter. I didn't measure the gravity of the starter but I know it was no where near 1.060, if anything it was on the low side, probably 1.030 range . Fermentation started up really quickly and quite violently for the first week. Had blow off consistently for the first couple of days and then slowly died down after that. My ferm temp was around 60, although i just raised it up to 70 yesterday, hoping that it might speed things up a bit, and what do you know, after 3 weeks of what appeared to be steady fermentation (bubbling airlock) I have blow off again and nearly had an exploding carboy this morning when I awoke to find my airlock clogged. Again nothing smells off, and nothing tastes off. Going to give it a bit more time before I take another gravity reading, i hate opening it up and messing with, and like I said the last one I took was 1.020.
