So I'm making this yeast starter right... 32 oz water to 6 oz. DME started into a 64 oz. growler. No stir plate, just simple agitation. The plan was to pitch this beast into an IPA the next day.
Everything went fine of course until the next morning when I went out to discover a travesty strewn about my brew room.
I ended up brewing the IPA anyway and tried to salvage as much yeast as I could. My question? If some yeast came out of the airlock and spewed all over the place would I still have sufficient yeast in the slurry? I'm sure it's near impossible to answer without seeing it. Any insight from the seasoned vets would be appreciated.
I pitched it either way and it seems to be fermenting just fine. I don't want to have under pitched and create off flavors though. I'm also wondering if I should throw in a second vial. I used WLP001. My apologies for the long post.
