I bottle harvested Julius Echter yeast from 3 bottles about a week ago and everything was going fine with the step ups. I was going for 1 last dose of wort and didn't have enough room in the flask. I refrigerated overnight, siphoned off the beer and added another round of starter wort (3oz DME, 1/4tsp nutrients, 3 cups water) boiled and cooled of course. It's been sitting for about 2 days with no sign of fermentation.
The liquid in the flask has the sweet wort smell and not a beer smell. Any idea why the yeasties won't eat?
