Starter gone bad
I did a starter with California Ale Yeast WLP001 with my stir plate. I had to leave town for several weeks and forgot to transfer it to a sealed container for long term storage.

Why did you make a starter several weeks before you were going to brew?

I was going to keep it in the fridge and do a second, bigger starter after coming back. The idea was to cultivate a lot of this yeast because I used it a lot for IPAs

Gotcha. I would just get a new pack or if you have a sachet of US-05 and are looking to brew this weekend just use that.
