Brew day is Saturday so today I made my yeast starter. I forgot one pretty important step, which was to take the yeast packet out of the fridge 3 hours beforehand to bring it to room temp.
I took it out of the fridge, smacked it, put the pack in the sanitizing solution, boiled & cooled the wort, and then pitched the yeast. It ended up being out for about an hour (possibly a bit more) before I pitched it.
It's now about 4 hours after I made the starter and I don't see much happening, except that the plastic wrap cover is starting to bulge slightly (perhaps a sign of fermentation activity?). I could post a pic if that would help.
