Picked up the last smack pack my LHS had of the Wyeast Belgian Wit yeast... I activated it a few hours before I made the starter and it didn't puff up too much. I made a 2L starter and pitched the yeast and put it on my stir plate. 12 hours later, no activity at all. I've got a blow off tube on it and there isn't a single bubble and no visual activity.
It looks like the yeast was packaged back in Feb 2012 based on the date on the package. This is my first experience with Belgian strains, so before I consider this yeast pack dead, I thought I'd check with the pros and see if this is normal behavior for the strain in any way.
Thanks for any advice!
