I made a yeast starter out of re-cultured yeast from 4 Duvel bottles. The rest of the starter included a cup of DME and about 24OZ of water & aeration. I did this 48 hours ago and as of now there is no activity in my starter.
The yeast sediment is at the bottom but I see no evidence of the yeast coming out of dormancy. There is no krausen or any kind of foam on the top there is also no smell of yeast coming out of the starter.
Is 48 hours not long enough for this? Should I RDWAHAHB or am I wasting my time with dead yeast?
Thanks
Mike
