Warm Stir Plate

[rrogerstwo]

I did my first yeast starter last night with no problems. After pitching the yeast, I put the flask on my stir plate and started it up. Everything looked fine. This morning I notice the plate being little warm, I checked the temp. of the wort, it was 82°. Yeast is American Ale II attenuation 72-76°. Will I have a problem?

Yeast grows great at temps up to 100. No problems, but i would definately be chilling / decanting the beer off that starter before I pitched.

I wish my stir plates made a little heat. It's usually around 65* where I make my starters and it takes a little longer than I'd like.

Thanks for the input, I will chill it before I pitch.

Chill, and pour off the beer, leaving only the yeast at the bottom (chilling overnight will make the yeast drop hard to the bottom). That's decanting. I want this to be clear.

Chilled the starter and yeast fell to the bottom, I poured off the beer, left a little to make a slurry. Pitched the yeast in the wort about 9:00 last night, this morning 6:00 am krausen to the top of the fermenter. So all went well..
