Chunks/solids in Wyeast?
« on: May 28, 2010, 03:40:31 pm »
I poured my Wyeast 2206 into the starter, and out came a few solids/chunks?  This is a first for me.  Anything to be concerned with?

Nope. Don't be surprised if you see it in the starter as well.

Thanks for making me feel better about the chunky 1968 yeast in my starter. I'm brewing a brown shugga clone and am a little nervous about my first big beer (1.102 OG).

That sounds great!
