About 4 days ago i made a 2L starter for a pack of wyeast lacto. About 2/3rds of it is 1030 wort. I heard lacto like simple sugars and heard of a lot of people using apple juice as a soure. So I took about five apples and ran them through a juicer and mixed that with the wort. I have been keeping the starter going at about 90-100F.
As of yet there has been zero activity. I read that a lot of times lacto will not show signs of working. So I smelled it, smelled slightly of sweet apples which makes sense with apple juice being in there. I tasted a small amount and it just tasted slightly sweet, not sour at all.
What gives?
