    No DME for a starter - help!

    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?
