Starter eruption

[springer]

This is after the step up . The first made a sticky mess all over the bar and stir plate no camera handy for that one. this about 4 hours after adding 500 ml or so added to the slurry after I decanted

 

[Gremlyn]

You are stirring, right?

 

[springer]

Yes I am stirring it had a nice little vortex .This is the first one to do that to me on the stir plate . The fermentation was kick ass too had at least a 6 inch krausen .

What kind of yeast is that. I had that happen with WLP300 on the stir plate. Didn't take pictures.

Wyeast 3068 and the temp was 66° so its not a hot fermentation. I have used this yeast several times but its never done this to me

 

[Gremlyn]

Maybe you need to stir faster? The stirring action should stop the formation of too much krausen. That thing looked violent!

maybe because I used real wheat wort for this starter . I don't know I will be racking into kegs this weekend. I brewed on 4/18
