Pitched my yeast Sunday at about 6:00 P.M. and now, 24 hours later, there is no activity what so ever. I made a starter 18 hours in advance but didn't notice any activity but I had the stir set such that the starter wort was continually whirlpooling. (I also noticed, after making the starter, that the best before date was May of last year! Guess I should have checked that before I bought it at the HBS.)
I am using the European Ale strain and have read online that it is a bit of a slow starter but I am wondering if I should buy some new yeast tomorrow and re-pitch.
Thoughts?
I'm not too worried about infection as I purged the carboys of O2 using CO2.
Thanks in advance.
