Greetings,
I'm brewing a high gravity belgian ale so I wanted to put together a starter to do it right.
I made it up and then a bunch work issues decided to tag team me and I've been so busy that I forgot about the starter until today....8 days later.
The operative question is, can I still make a slurry from the yeast cake that has accumulated and will it do any good?
Also, if the yeast has become too dormant to kick start a huge brew, is there any way I can salvage it? (e.g. add some more DME and wait a day to brew?)
Your opinions greatly appreciated!
