So I hate to be another person asking simple yeast starter questions... but the searching is what made me confused.
I've seen conflicting times for yeast starters. How to brew recommends about 4-5 days prior to brew day. Most of what I've read on here says anywhere between 1-3 days. How do I know when its ready?
When the airlock on my growler calms down? Is there anything such as yeast being in a starter too long?
Last question, do I need to acclimate the yeast in the vial to room temperature before adding it to the cooled wort? Or can i put the refrigerated yeast directly in the 70-80F starter?
