Forbidden fruit made in nov 2013
« on: February 25, 2018, 05:05:48 am »
Found and old sealed pack of wyeast in the fridge. Decided I would make a starter to see if it’s still ok. Smacked the nutrient pack and it swelled. Pitched it into a small starter just in case it was bad. Pitched it to the starter but it smelled funny. It’s been on the stir plate overnight no sign of anything yet although it’s only been 12 hrs. Think I should ditch it?

Hard to toss a PC huh?

Why not run it out, then decant and pitch to an oxygenated no-stir starter. Let that ferment out and taste it. See if it's gone wild on you.
