So I made my first starter thursday night. About 8 oz's of DME in about 1.85 liters, with wp 810.
3 days later there is no foam on the surface. The vessel is tinted glass so its hard to tell what's going on inside. The airlock is active. A burp once a minute or so...Its been sitting at about 70 degrees since I made it.
My question's are...
Does the starter need more time? I can give it one more day before I need to brew, due to time constraints.
Does high krausen ALWAYS show with a foam? Could the presence of idophor from sanitization inhibit the foam growth?
Would pitching today be detrimental?
