Is my starter working?

[flavaham]

I made my first starter last night for a Saison that I'll be brewing on Monday. 24 hours later, I don't really see any big difference. It hasn't really done much. I got a small layer of foam on top for a few hours, some slow bubbling out of the air lock and now nothing. The yeast has settled and that's that.

I used a pint of water and 1/4 cup of DME. Boiled for 20 min. Cooled to 70-75 degrees and pitched. Should I be noticing more than this? I'm really not sure what it is supposed to do or what I'm looking for. Any help would be great!
Thanks,

From your description, it sounds like it's working. You won't always see volcanic activity in a starter. As long as you see a layer of foam (however small) and bubbles in the wort, or activity in the airlock, she's working.
