I washed my yeast from my last batch of mild, following the directions listed here very closely. Today I tried using it on a new batch of the same beer.
I let it sit on the counter and come to room temp - 70 degrees. I added it to a bit of spring bottled spring water with about a spoon of dry malt powder. After about 5 hours nothing was happening so I pitched it into the wort and now am hoping for the best.
Should I have started my starter the day before or did I just miss something? I was meticulous about sterilizing the jars and water just like the directions here said to do. There was a bit of a pop when I opened the jar.
