Hey everyone,
I have started a 4L started for a pilsner im going to brew this saturday. Its (2) 2L started and I started it on Thursday in a 1.045 solution with a second generation pilsner yeast cake. I have them both on stir plates and at 45 degrees fareignheit and 6 hours into it I have massive amounts of CO2 being produced. So much that when I stop the stir bar it looks like I just poured a hefeweizen there is so much CO2 running up the side of the flask. My question is, is this ok? Ive done quite a handful of started but this is however my first with a second generation yeast and I have never seen this before. From my understanding, CO2 is produced after the reproduction phase which quite frankly is all were after with a starter right..reproduction. So with all of this CO2 being produced does this mean that there is little to no reproduction of yeast cells?
