Planning my second brew and my first yeast starter. This is a 100% WLP644 Brett trois brew and I've heard that White Labs packages their Brett strains at much lower cell counts than their Saccharomyces strains so I plan on doing a stepped starter in a glass gallon jug. Given that I really want this thing to get PLENTY of oxygen, would it be safe to just cover the mouth of the jug with a coffee filter that has been soaked in vodka, held on with a sanitized rubber band? Or is that too much of an infection risk in low grav, unhopped starter wort?
