So I've done multiple starters before, but this is the first step starter 'm doing. I am using Wyeast 1028 had a liter starter with an estimated starting gravity of 1.037. Let it spin for 24 hours. I decanted and started step 2. For giggles, I checked the gravity of the decanted wort and it was 1.05. So i must have boiled too hard.
That's not the issue. The issue is it appears the yeast didn't eat any sugar. Granted it was an older pack, 04/26/208 but i've pitched older and never had a problem. Is it still sleeping? Step two should be spinning for 36 hours. I did add nutrient to this starter. any reassurance would be helpful.
Thanks.
