My Mum lives close by a well known LHBS so i got her to pick up some Wyeast 1332 for me.
When I got the pack I noticed it was dated Jan16 2013 which I was not pleased at but I thought I would just make a starter - no problem.
I pitched the whole thing into a 1.5L starter which I make the usual way with LDME at about 1040.
Its been sitting in my kitchen for 3 days now with no visible signs of fermentation - usually I get a nice krausen - this one is dead flat. Temp is right, I have been swirling it every time I walk past it as well.
As this is the first time I have used this yeast, is this expected or should I just tip it and buy fresh yeast? I dont want to tip my Munich smash if this yeast aint up for the job.
