Newbie to sour beer brewing here. I purchased Omega Yeast Labs 605 Lacto Blend and made a 1.035 starter. It seems that I didn't do enough research prior to making it however, as I put in on my stirplate with a foam stopper instead of an airlock. It's been there now around 36 hours.
This may be a dumb question, but, is it ruined? Or is this also a viable way to make a Lacto starter? I remember reading that lactobacillus works either aerobically or anaerobically, so I figured the intake of oxygen would help it reproduce. It's been in a homemade starter-warming chamber at a controlled 105 degrees.
Any help would be appreciated!
