Nevermind, I was able to get it rockin & rollin after I used my wire strippers to remove some insulation on the brown wire, and then taped the actual wire to the fuse area. Worked like a charm!
Now, if only I could say the same about my starter of Imperial Harvest (L17) yeast... I started this 1.8L starter last night and had it going on my other, functional stir plate.
Still no signs of fermentation. I'm hoping the yeast didn't get cooked during summer shipment from northern brewer. I started this starter in parallel with a 2.5L starter of WLP4030 Franconian dark lager that I had shipped directly from white labs (I'm in the San Diego area, so it didn't have to travel as far), and that starter is already rockin at full krausen.
Anyone have any experience with the Imperial Harvest (L17) yeast? I believe it's the Augustiner strain, so is likely equivalent enough to WLP860.
Thanks for all the help folks!!!
