I made my first yeast starter last night in anticipation of brewing today. I followed the directions in Palmer's book but so far, approx 15 hr in, I have seen no activity at all. The liquid looks very cloudy and I cannot see any yeast accumulation on the bottom of the jar. The starter ended up consisting of about a half pint of liquid into which a half cup of amber DME was dissolved. Am I able to use this starter still? Do I need to wait? Is this starter too small to notice activity? Or have I somehow screwed this starter up? I did not take a reading but could the SG have been too high?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot!
