I made my yeast starters yesterday and they are spinning. Usually by the next morning (now), the starters have noticeably thickened. But this time they hasn't. I've already started brewing, so I'm preparing for a possibly big problem - i.e. the yeast is dead.
Good old WLP 001, but it's almost at its "best by" date. Been in the fridge, don't think it has been mishandled. Maybe this batch is just a "slow starter" (pun intended!), and needs some more time.
IF NOT, I will finish brewing this afternoon, and put the carboys (2 x 6 gal) in my temp-controlled fermentation fridge at 70F while I switch to Plan B. How long can I leave the wort in the fridge before I get some more yeast?
