Evening all Sorry I haven't posted for a while and stayed in touch work commitments meant me going away for a few months. I brewed 2 beers last night or at least tried the first one fired up and is fermenting well the second is not so good its life less and has no sign of doing anything, so my intentions are to make a starter I have a tub of dried yeast no DME so what I'm after really is some knowledge on amounts and that really thanks in advance this is driving me Mad.

Give it another 12 hrs just in case its a slow starter..... if that fails then .....

Sanitise a glass and scoop out 1/2 a glass worth of the wort.
add a heaped teaspoon of yeast and cover with cling film and leave somewhere warm for 1/2 hr, then add it to the wort.

Cheers I've never had this problem before they usually start within hours or by the next morning so it was annoying me when you say half a glass worth pint pot sized glass Im assuming?
