Alright need some advice on a brett starter... using Brett L wyeast, usually don't make starters but Ive switched to all grain and want to start to ensure healthier fermentation and guaranteed fermentation.
That said... I tried to make a starter the other day with this using 3/4 cup extra light extract and 1 liter water at 75F and for some reason the starter didn't take off after a few days so I dumped it. No krausen just a little of what looked like white moldish stuff floating on top?
Bought another pack today... is muntons extra light DME okay to use? Tap water okay? Also I don't have a scale so thats why I used 3/4 cup... is this the proper amount? Should I just say screw the starter and pitch the yeast?
Thanks, any advice appreciated!
