I need your guys help to find out where i went wrong:
I made a starter yesterday using washed WY3068, 3/4 cup Extra light DME, and 1 quart of water.
I boiled the DME and water for 15 minutes and then cooled for 15 minutes in an ice bath
I made sure to sanitize my starter container (JD bottle) as well as my funnel.
Finally i pitched the yeast and shook the thing vigorously for 10 minutes.
The next day it has not done a thing and when i took an sg reading it is the same.
The only thing i can assume i guess is that i didnt harvest the yeast correctly and it died or something.
Any other ideas?
Dave
