Notes:

Building up Brevis – 1L starter of new vial of WLP672 Lactobacillus brevis cooled to 120 and pitched, put on stopper and airlock and put in storage room at 82 degrees. Visible fermenting on day two of the starter, bubbles around the corners of the flask and white spotted caps on the top of the wort, lots of activity rising up to the top of the wort. Didn’t see this with my first starter of the other version of lacto from white labs.
