Hi Guys,
I've been a member on this forum for a while but this is my first post.
I put down a Sundown Lager clone last Thursday night and after oxygenating the wort with pure o2, pitched into it a yeast starter that i'd made the day before from Wyeast 1056 American Ale and placed it in my temp controlled fridge at 19 degrees. It had an OG of 1046 and when I checked it the next day the krausen had come out the top of my airlock and I thought at that rate it would have fermented out in a few days. I checked the SG yesterday and it was down to 1036 and this afternoon 1032 but in the past I've had much faster results just by pitching the liquid yeast straight into the wort. It was a pretty decent starter so I'm wondering if there can be problems with overpitching? Still has about twenty points to ferment to get to FG.
Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Luke.
