Ok, this question has been asked 1 million times but I've read many threads on this and am still not sure about the outcome.
Last night I tried my first yeast starter by boiling 2 cups of water and 1/2 cup of DME. I let it cool, added it to a sanatized growler and then added a vile of White Labs WLP800. I then added some more water to bring it up to 2Liters of volume. That was around 8pm last night. I shook it a few times before going to bed.
This morning there is no evidence of anything going on. The liquid is still cloudy, no krausen or yeast on the bottom of the bottle.
I was planning on brewing a pilsner this morning but am worried about the yeast. Did I mess up when I added the extra water??
Any suggestions??????
