On 4/12 I started a yeast starter using Safale s-04 dry ale yeast. I have never used this yeast before. I used 1.75 oz dme with 2 cups of water. Within a few mins I noticed pretty good activity and thought that was fast and good! Then about 7 hrs later I noticed that things slowed down to a crawl. So I fed it with another mix of wort the same as before. Again activity within a few mins and again in a few hrs we are crawling. Is this normal for this yeast? I expect to brew on 4/15. Am I gonna be ok? should I start another yeast?
