Hey folks,
Does anyone have any tips on preventing boil overs when making a yeast starter? I'm using a 2000mL erlenmeyer flask to boil and ferment the starter. The flask came with a receipe for a starter that calls for:
1.75 cups DME
1 pinch Fermaid K
1800mL of water
But when I follow the receipe it seems like nothing I do stops the boil over except taking the flask off the burner. I've tried stirring, reducing the heat, and water spray bottle, all with no effect. Has anyone else had similar issues, and been able to fix them?
