I’ve searched to see if this has been discussed before so apologies if I have missed it. I have just invested in my first stir plate and 2 L flask so that I can try yeast starters.
I can see from the online calculator that I need to use two steps. The first one has been running for 24 hours and there are bubbles on the surface.
The question is, how do I know that the yeast has stopped growing so that I pour off the wort and load up with a fresh DME solution? is it just a matter of time? Or should I stop the stirring and gauge how much yeast there is when it settles?
thanks everyone
