I usually make 1-2L starters depending on the beer, of course. This time, I made a 3.5L starter. After 20 hours, I see no signs of anything in this starter. I usually get krausen in 6-12 hours.
Is it just slow in appearance because of how much bigger the starter is? I know yeast only reproduce prior to fermentation so I'm hoping they're just propagating now (which is the point of a start, right?).
I am using a stirplate.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
