27 hrs.....

27 hours and no activity....... used a washed Pacman I had from a prior batch, made a starter even, but nothing!!

Should I pull the trigger and throw in my S-05 back up?!?!?! Never had this problem before 😞

Wow - PacMan is usually a complete beast. I love that stuff.

I'd still give it another day.

Yeah, I would wait a little longer than 27 hours before abandoning hope, give it at least 48. Was the starter showing signs of life? If so, you should be fine. Another possibility is the yeast going into a temperature shock when it was pitched, but if the starter and batch temperatures were similar, that shouldn't be the case.
