Just a quick note on WLP400 if you're using it for this. Put on a 1L starter last night to startup the yeast in a 2L vessal. This morning, even on a stirplate, there was a full kreustan trying to poke it's head out the top. I've put it all in a tub now in case it keeps spilling out, but keep an eye on it if you're growing it near anything you don't want covered in yeast ;)

Reading online, it looks like this yeast is notorious for big foamy kreustan and not dropping for ages.
