Yeast starter

Wed Aug 13, 2014 12:16 pm

After having my yeast starter on a stir plate for 10 hours, I have to take the yeast off so I can take it to the brewing location. It takes about 20 min to travel.
Should I then put the yeast back on the stir plate or let it just sit until I can pitch it. In about 8 hours?

Personally, I would let it sit. If you put it back on the stir plate, it could gush like a volcano.

I'd put it back on. Like previously stated it may want to gush if you put it back on the stir plate. Just start it off slow when you put it back on, and turning it off and on if need until the co2 dissipates

Put it back on...most likely the travel will keep stirring it a little bit.
