Hi all, I have not posted here in some time. I am doing a stout this time and using a starter on the yeast this time. I got the kit from B3 and needed to add some stuff to reach the free shipping -- doesn't it make sense to have more stuff than to pay for shipping? :rockin:
This is my first time with a starter. I added about 1 cup DME and a pinch of the yeast yummy stuff and boiled it in the flask. Let it cool to room temp and pitched the room temp White Labs Calf yeast. It has now been 24 hrs and I see some foam and if I swirl it the foam shows up and goes away in 15 seconds. It's not as violent of a thing as I was expecting. What should I be seeing if all is well?
