I made a starter up yesterday afternoon using 3/4 cup LDME and one liter of water. Sanitized, cooked, cooled, and pitched WYeast Belgian Wit. I had action in the air lock within 10 minutes. So far I have had to wash the airlock and clean the mess off of the stir plate six times (one time there was at least a half inch of yeast sitting in the bottom of the air lock). Finally I said to hell with the airlock and attached a loose foil cover. I let it sit a while with out stirring and poured off 200ml. I just came home to another mess.
On the bright side, my yeast is highly active and ready to rock. I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced anything like this? Any ideas as to why?
