I have used starters on my brews for at least a year now. My last several brews have also re-used yeast collected from a previous brew. This time however, I completely forgot to make the starter. I went to get started brewing yesterday and then remembered to get the bottle out of the fridge. Luckily, the saved yeast was several times the amount of yeast that comes in the vials. But this is the last time I do that. With the starters lag time is not a problem. This time I woke up this morning with still no activity. Chalk one more up in the "I'll never do that again" catagory.
