From the last pale batch I did, I harvested the yeast, and refrigerated in baby food jars. Today I brewed a pale that ended up around 1.051. My problem was that I thought a starter could be made during the ~2h needed to steep/boil. I must be mistaken after reading other posts here where starters can take up to 36 hours. So I ended up with 1/4cup of boiled water/1 teaspoon sugar starter with my pitched yeast. After the two hours it was doing nothing. I pitched it anyway, but now I'm worried that my brew may never ferment, or definitely won't be done fermenting in a week (it's suggested to move the brew to a secondary after 5-7 day). Looks like I have three options:
Buy some yeast, and re-pitch
Wait out with the 2 hour starter I pitched earlier
Make another starter and possibly wait 36hours, then re-pitch
What would you do?
Thanks in advance for advice.
