I made a 3L starter, stepping up to a 5L starter for propagation. I planned to fill 7 mason jars with 200 billion cells in each, using a propagation calculator. I made the 5L step up last night and stuck it on the stir plate. I woke up this morning to it gushing foam from the top of the 5L flask. Does it make sense that the propagation (lag) phase is done since it is at high krausen? I guess I just don't know what to do. Any time I agitate it, it tries to foam over. Should I just let it finish fermenting without the stir plate and just swirl it every once in a while. Just looking for advice I suppose.
