So I made my first starter yesterday. The metheod I used was that from the WIKI here. I boiled 1 pint of water, removed from heat, added 1/2 cup DME and stirred until dissolved, then boiled for 10-15 mins. I cooled it, put in a 2L flask and pitched the yeast (White Labs Clifornia Ale WP001). I put a bung and airlock in and let it sit at about 68-70 F. Today, it has a layer of yeast on the bottom, but i never saw it active, and there is ro ring or anything to show that it did. Is there a way to tell if its ready to use? Did I do something wrong? Thanks...
