When making a starter, I begin with a Wyeast vial (California Ale), and I typically add 1 L of wort at 1.040 (from light DME) at 65F. I then put it on a stir plate for 24 hours.
However, I sometimes get a Krausen overflow. I am concerned I'm losing some of the best yeast and negating the whole point of a starter by getting an overflow.
Do folks add Fermcap in their starters?
