I think my yeast starter failed

Short back story.

OK so I brewed my first partial mash yesterday. Target was 1.066 but only hit 1.061. As my father and I were cooling our wort down to get ready to pitch the yeast it started pouring with rain...like seriously pouring, so we pulled out the wort chiller and moved the wort inside. It was about 80 degrees so we figured we'd put it in the swamp cooler and let it cool down those 10 degrees. But it wouldn't cool down, an hour later it was still 76 degrees. Finally after about 90 minutes it cools down to 72 degrees so we decided to pitch the yeast. I had made a 1.3L starter using WP001 yeast, I've done it before and it worked perfectly.

Here is where I think we screwed up. Little did I know that while we were waiting that 90 minutes for it to cool down my father had removed the stirbar from the starter...he poured the starter in and left most of the yeast on the bottom of the flask (which he dumped out saying it was trub.)

So I woke up this morning and there is zero activity, I think my dad basically threw away all the yeast. Here is my question. Should I wait another 24 hours and monitor activity? I kind of think there is little to no yeast in the wort. Should I go out and buy another 001 ASAP and make a 24 hour starter? Or should I rehydrate 2 packets of US-05 I have in my fridge?

I'm so annoyed that he dumped out the starter and he's now blaming me for making a "bad starter" haha. The joys of brewing with the family.

 

Correct not all of it but a lot of it.

 

Haha thanks. Eh things happen, I shouldn't have let myself get distracted. It's only beer haha.

 

OK will do. 1 packet of US 05 or 2??

 

Done and done.

Thanks guys.

 

Woke up this morning and airlock was popping about once every 2 seconds. So we've got action. Thanks again.
