Yeast: White Labs California Ale
Just made my first starter using 1/2 cup Light DME w/ 2 cups of water. 10 minute boil, with a chill to 70 degrees and pitched at 70 in a sanitized brown growler. Aerated by shaking and covered w/ foil.
It's been 3 days, no krausen...what are some signs that the yeast is viable?
My concern is that I put my yeast buried in a cooler with a layer of ice below the yeast, and a layer of ice above the yeast for 7 hours. My thoughts are that this could have possibly lead to the cells freezing.
I just don't know
