Hi all.....I'm getting ready to brew up a Pils and made my starter last night. I checked on the starter this morning and see no signs of activity. Here's what I did..if there's something wrong in my process please let me know. I realize that maybe it's just a bad batch of yeast, but the expiration date on the tube was Feb. 26 2012. The yeast is WLP802.
1. added 6oz,. light DME to 2000ml water
2. boiled for 15 mins.
3. cooled to 65*
4. pitched yeast
5. placed in basement where it's a steady 60* (I also covered it with a T-shirt to keep light out).
I pitched at about 5pm last night so I thought I would see some sign of activity by this morning, but like I said ....nothing.
Thought??? Ideas???
Thanks
