hey guys
so I last night attempted to make a starter yeast culture from a bottle of Chimay (Blue). All I did was miz 1/2 cup DME with 2 cups water, boiled it for 10mins, let it cool to 70F and poured it straight in the recently opened and almost completely finished bottle of Chimay (thinking there's still yeast in the freshly opened bottle - which I could see!). I popped an airlock on and taped it up to get an airtight seal, put it away at 70F. The thing isnt bubbling at all today (12 hr later) and no sign of any foaminess in the bottle. did i do something wrong? should I leave it a little longer?
cheers....
