Doing an experiment to see the differences between these two strains. Not sure if strain 1 is dead, or if it's just this color normally. Strain 2 looks like just about every other starter I've ever done and actually smells more pungent than strain 1.
Used 100 g Pils DME to 1 L water. used yeast nutrient and boiled for 10 min. Cooled to room temp and pitched. Both yeast packets were bought on the same day and stored next to each other in the fridge till I made the starter.
Has anybody ever had a starter look like this?
