Hello peeps! I have a stir plate and am working to harvest yeast from Bells Oberon Ale. The beers were packaged 3/29/18. I had 5 bottles and saved the slurry from those and added to my wort. I used the following instructions

Now I didn't pull an OG reading but I've pulled a reading as of 12 and 24 hours of pitching and it's still at 7 brix. I used 200 ml of water with 14 grams Briess Pilsen Light DME. How long should it take before I start seeing a gravity/brix change? Mind you this is on a stir plate (second time ever using one) so I'm not sure that actual fermentation will show which is why I've been using a refractometer.
Edit: forgot to add this was pitched around 7pm 7/28
