Hi,
First time using wlp001 and it wandered merrily out of my 2L flask (lost about 200 ml and not much yeast at the bottom of the flask after cold crashing). Stepped it up, this time with a carboy cap and blowoff tube going into a small container with StarSan in it. Noticed today that the little critters went crazy again. In fact, there was a nice little cake at the bottom of the blowoff container.
Next time, can I use distilled water in a sanitized, closed container with airlock as a blowoff container and reintroduce the yeast in the starter? WLP001 is really starting to piss me off, but that would solve problems I had earlier with other straons (I'm looking at YOU, wyeast 3944)
