I've made several wlp001 starters in the past in a 2L flask with 200g light DME, on a stir plate for 24 hours then settled out in the fridge. Normally I end up with extremely apparent fermentation meaning it's normally hard to keep this yeast contained.
I know fermentation is different every time but this time there were no visible signs of fermentation, no bubbles when I shook the flask and very evident clearing.
Also the yeast ring at the bottom does not appear to be as large as normal.
My question is... Do you think it's still safe to use? I'm fine giving it a little longer to take off but figured I'd ask what you guys think first.
I attached some pictures.
