Hi all- tried my first starter batch last night and after 12 hours, there's no sign of any activity. I can see some sediment at the bottom of the growler, but there aren't any bubbles or surface activity (i.e. bubbles). The other threads on starters have suggested lots of activity as soon as 5 hours after pitching the yeast. Am I just being too impatient?
FWIW, I used White Labs yeast that was a week past it's 'best by' date, but I did make sure the DME solution was cooled and aerated it in the grower.
Thanks!
