Hey guys. Hoping someone can help with some issues I'm having activating some old yeast. About 9 months ago I brewed a Kolsch using Wyeast 2565 and saved the yeast from the cake using the washing method described on this post: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f163/yeast-washing-illustrated-41768/
I've been storing it in the refrigerator since that point and last night I tried creating a starter with this yeast using the "how to" described on this post: https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/how-make-yeast-starter-pictorial-76101/
That was about 12 hours ago and to the best I can tell, I'm seeing no activity in my starter container. Should I be seeing something obvious happening in there? Should there be a little krausen on this little starter batch? Is it too soon? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated.
