Once you have mixed up your wort to your desired brewlength, just make sure that the FV lid is sealed tight and keep it at room temp whilst the yeast is growing. Just be sure to thrash some air back into your wort before pitching the yeast starter.Addled Jim wrote:Well, having started this thread I must confess the Wherry is still sitting untouched!

Certainly makes sense starting the 6g off allowing it to grow; after all yeast does just that. I suppose its a juggling act between starting the yeast and its multiplication and judging the cooling to enable pitching?
I see that you are from Witham, I'm from Colchester. What HBS do you use?
