I made up a starter on Friday night pouring a Wyeast 1084 smack pack into a litre of extract solution. 24 hours later the airlock is bubbling away happily and i can see bubbles rising to the surface of the starter and bursting, but there is no froth whatsoever. None. The surface of the starter is smooth and glassy apart from the odd bubble rising from below and popping. The gas escaping from the airlock smells like a fermenting starter.
When i give it a shake it froths up vigorously like lemonade and the airlock blows its box off, but the froth subsides straight away and I'm left with no krausen. At all.
Does anyone have any clues about what the hell is going on with my starter?
