So I bought a scottish wyeast smack pack on thursday night, got home, smacked the pack and unfortunately, the package ripped open. So I Immediately put the slurry in my flask and proceded with a starter (1500 ml). I chilled the wort to 70 F, put it in the flask and finally, my stater was on the stir plate late at night. Now, saturday morning, i still haven't seen any sign of life, no krausen, and the gravity is still at 1.040-42. The color hasn't changed either.
Is my starter dead ? The yeast was 6 months old
