I have a planned brew this weekend and I thought I had some DME for a starter, but upon inspection, I'm out!! I'm using harvested and washed yeast that has been chilling in my fridge for 5-6 weeks. Can I just use. A sugar water solution to wake up the yeast before I brew? Any ideas?

Attached an image of the complete recipe.

Thanks everyone! It's gone now so it must have been temperature stratification.

So I pitched my starter about 3-4 hours ago. And now I see this... What is it?? I've been brewing for 3 years and have never seen this.

Sweet. Done!
