Hi,
I'm fairly new to doing starters so I was hoping someone could take a look at this to let me know what they think. I generally ferment in a bucket so I'm not used to seeing the Krausen form. But I'm using a new yeast here and want to make sure all is good
I'm using the WLP029 and have no experience with this yeast.
I am not planning to add oxygen/agitate this starter, it's gravity is 1.55 and am making it for a Marzen I'm making that will have a similar gravity.
I made starter with 800ml of tap water and about a cup of DME. Also added a teaspoon of yeast nutrient before boil. Brought all ingredientsto a boil on the stove top in the flask. It was cooled in an ice bath with top open, nothing got in other than a sanatized paper towel, a sanatized thermometer and a sanatized eye dropper to test gravity on refractometer. Pitched 1 packet of liquid yeast at room temperature in my home 74°F
Just want to make sure it's healthy.
Thanks in advance
