just did a 3944 yeast starter. Smacked the pack last night, did the starter this morning. Pack had swelled. Did the DME boil for 10mins then in ice to bring temp down, stick it in a 5l demijohn then yeast and agitated for a few minutes. It has been about 2 hours since its been put down and no activity as of yet. I was of the thought that witbier yeasts are big fast foamers?
I did note on the packet the yeast was made in April, and it took a fair while to swell up ( i had waited 3 hours last night, no swell, then went to bed and it was nice and swollen this morning)
Is this just another case of DWHAHB? Or should I be thinking the worst?
