I made a starter Thursday night with the intent on brewing some Maibock this afternoon. I used 1/2 cup of dark DME with 1 pint H2O for the starter with WLP 833 German Bock Yeast. The yeast vial does not expire until march 2012. It's been on the stir plate for about 36 hours now, and nothing. No krausen, no sediment.
Is it just the lag time associated with lager yeasts?
Does it make any difference that I used dark DME for the starter?
I wanted to wait until the starter was at high krausen to pitch it, but it doesn't appear to be doing anything (yet)...
