Did a yeast starter Saturday of WLP004 and let it churn for ~24 hours on the stir plate. The starter turned a nice light brown so I knew I had some pretty healthy yeast swimming around in there.
I brewed my black ipa yesterday and it came in at around 1.053. I pitched my yeast and within an hour I had about a 1 inch krausen. within three hours, I had blown the airlock and had to install a blowoff tube.
In about 20 batches, I've never had a fermentation so active and rapid as this one. I'll be doing starters from now on!!!
