A buddy of mine wanted to brew an IIPA with an OG of 1.082.
I made a 2L starter and after it finished ferming after 4 days I put it in the fridge then brewed next day and had quite the vigorous fermentation which set in in 7 hours.
My friend couldnt make it on brew day, and then the next brew day and the next...well you get the picture.
Ive had his in the fridge for almost 2 weeks.... his went in when mine did.
Is his yeast still viable?
He took off work sunday to come over and brew as I explained to him that hes basically throwing 20 bucks in yeast and ingredients for the starter down the drain.
I checked it out. It has about a 1 inch thick slurry as mine did. There is a few flake looking things floating around, but i figured it was just the DME i used when I made my starter.
Any thoughts?
