I ordered 2 Wyeast smack packs of Pilsen (2007) from OBK a few weeks ago. I just got around to making a starter yesterday. Nothing. After 24 hours on the stir plate, there was no activity. I thought maybe it was done already (It should have been), so I cold crashed it a couple hours ago. Still very little yeast on the bottom of the vessel. What a piss-off.
I just did a classic american pilsner with some 2112, took a good 3 days for even a bubble. Now 3 weeks later its still going.
I made a new starter with another smack pack. If this doesn't work, I'll warm up the wort and pitch US-05 to make a cream ale. The wort should be safe at 7ºC for now.
