Im making a starter with this now, and after two days seeing no real visible signs of activity. Do the starters take unusually long times to get kicking or am I looking at a bum deal?

Fantastic beer. I pushed it to about 5%abv and dryhopped it with 1.5oz mix of centennial/cascade. Compliments the ridiculously hot summer so nicely!

Yeah, I had the same exact experience. Rings in the bottles, gushers, and zero head retention. Never seen anything like it. No taste of infection, but something was definitely amiss. I'm going to blame the cocoa I used and have since changed. Still, I'm sadly hesitant to use cocoa again...
