Making an AG version of my Belgian Hose Water recipe. (so named because my chiller leaked putting water straight from the hose into my cooling wort)
Decided to take some pictures of the starter as it progresses...so why not share?
Here is the starter (1/3 gallon 1.3 cups DME) with my Wyeast 1388 added:
There is a little foam on there from the agitation and StarSan. This quickly dissipated as the home made stir plate did it job.
Here is the starter after 17 hours:
A little krausen on there even with the stir plate going and it has gotten noticeably lighter as the yeast have multiplied. Just prepared another 2/3 of a gallon of wort (2.6 quarts water and 2.6 cups DME) with 1 tsp. of yeast nutrient to add at the 24 hour point.
