I started a 1.5 liter starter 42 hours ago from a vial of glycerine/WLP001 that I froze a few months ago. I've made a good number of starters before , but only in my 1000ml flask, never before in a 1 gallon jug, so I don't know if anything would be different with this setup. I've always had krausen build up and then fall to nothing within 24 hours using the flask and a 1 to 1.5 pint starter before. I used the proportions for the starter as calculated @ Yeast Calculator, using kai's option.
I've pulled off the foil and smelled it and it smells about as I'd expect from a starter. Sanitation was good.
Is this normal? I was going to pitch it this evening, but am 2nd guessing my timing.
