Hi,
I was making a starter and about to open the liquid yeast to pitch on it. On the moment I open the vial lid it started to foam and liquid going out.
By instinct, I moved the vial so the liquid going out can go inside the starter and don't get wasted...
I know, it was stupid, but this is my second starter and I didn't think at the time.
Some of lquid yeast went from the unsanitized vial and my unsanitized hand straight into the starter wort.
When I realized what I was doing it was already late, so I finished pitching and put it on the stir plate.
My question. How can I know if the starter got infected after 2 days?
I was planing to step it up coz I live in China and the vial of WLP500 I got was way off the expiration date.
Please help!
Thanks!
