WLP530 Starter

[BrewNow]

Just wanted to emphasize how much sheer energy this yeast has. I made a 1.5L starter late last night and by the middle of this afternoon yeast was overflowing from the jar. I've made a dozen or so starters using different strains and have never seen action like this! I am pumped to use 530 in my first dubbel in years. . .

Watch your temp with that yeast. It's a beast

Thanks for the heads up. I was planning a Westvleteren 12 clone shortly.

+1 to that. I made a golden strong with yeast and though the airlock was going crazy it really slows at 1.030. You may want to ramp the temps up into the mid 70's to ensure it finishes. My 1.082 og was down to 1.030 in three days but it took another week to finish at 1.010.
