I made my first starter about 24 hrs ago, 1/2 gallon at about 1.060 in a 1 gallong jug with Trappist yeast (WPL500, 1 vial). I pitched the yeast at exactly the same temp as the water and I was totally OCD with sanitation. However, *nothing* appears to be happening, no krausen, no bubbles, nothing. It is in the house at about 68degF, where I intend to start the final beer.
I haven't checked gravity yet to see if it is different. There does appear to be a slight layer at the bottom forming.
I know all the advice about not giving up etc. but don't know what to expect with this yeast or the process. Is it just taking a while, or should I have seen some action by now? I am hoping to use it to brew my first Tripel on Sunday or Monday.
thanks
