I am doing my first ever brew with liquid yeast and tried to do a starter. I did 1 cup of DME 4 cups of water. I brought the water to a boil and then stirred in the DME. Fighting boil overs, I boiled for about 15 minutes. I took off heat and cooled in an ice bath until 75 degrees. Then I added the wart to my flask and pitched the yeast. I covered with foil and shook well. After 6 hours I can't see any signs of fermentation.... I think I have a little bit more wart in the flask than I need. Also, I may not have let the yeast warm up to exactly room temp (directions said take out of fridge 3hrs prior to pitching but I only did about 1hr). My question is - should I be seeing fermentation at this point? Should I pour out the starter and try again??? Any help would be appreciated.
