So, last night I made a 2L starter with WLP566 so that I can start brewing a saison tomorrow. When I woke up this morning I noticed that there was no visible foam or activity, but I've never used this strain before so I wasn't sure what to really expect.
Got home this evening, and the starter looks completely still. Just like this morning there is a sediment layer on the bottom that I expect to find in my starters, but I'm worried that could be just from the vial getting added and settling. When I opened the vial last night it actually seemed bubbly and somewhat carbonated, which was something I hadn't seen before.
Soooo...is my yeast dead? I'm not really sure how to go about figuring out if this is normal for this strain or if I need to find myself some new yeast. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
