I made up a yeast starter on Saturday using some WLP001 that I'd washed and have had int he fridge since January (A long time I know). I oxygenated the wort prior to pitching the yeast and there was little to no activity and I'd all but given up on it. Yesterday while I was at work it came to life. Do you think it just took a while for things to wake up or is it more likely to be wild yeast? I'm only mentioning the possibility of wild yeast as sometimes I leave a 100mm sample on the windowsill and after a week or so it begins to ferment on its own?
