Hi all,
I thougt I would give cuturing up some yeast from a bottle of Triple Karmeliet, so I added the dregs of the bottle to 800ml of "wort" (water with 80grams of DME boiled for 10mins) and put a bung and airlock in it,
It didnt seem to do much for a couple of days then, it seemed to be brewing just like a beer..I thoughht I would buy wosome yeast butrient, so, I warmed and dissolved about 1/4 teasoppn of Wyeast nutrient in a few ml of water and threw it in. It seemd to go strong for a day, now it pretty lifeless and murky, and smells musty and slightly sweet.. have I made a starter or a primordial soup?
How much does one need for a starter?
Cheers
