I made a 1L starter using a Wyeast (3944 Wit) activator pack (dated March I think) on Tuesday. It took probably 48hrs before there was any activity in the airlock and there was never much (if any) krausen on top. At the most active point it was bubbling about once per 30 seconds. I shook the bottle last night to try and introduce some oxygen and now this morning there is no airlock activty at all. It probably did get a little cool in the room it's in overnight which may have slowed it down.
I was wanting to use this today however I'm not so sure it's viable. Should I have used a bigger starter given I used an Activator pack?
