So Im using Wyeast American Ale Yeast 1056.
It was an older expired smackpack that I used a month ago for the last beer I made that turned out really well. I made a 1 liter starter and stepped it twice for that beer. It acted weird in that there was no krausen for the most part. Beer turned out very well, and I wanted to do a quick turn around and make the same beer and repticth the yeast from the collection ball. This morning I made a 1.5 litre in a 4 litre jug starter from my collection ball. At six hours the foam is flowing out top top of the tinfoil covered jug. I have a starsan spritzer that I sprayed around the top of the over flow after I wiped it. But this might just be a yeast nutrient from what Ives seen. was planning on brewing tomorrow. Can I save this, and use it or should I dump it? I don't want to swirl it any more!
