Hi Michael, it's certainly worth a shot, but if your starter doesn't respond well within a few days, you might just want to start over and create a starter from scratch. If you're starting with a very small amount of dried starter, I would scrape what you can of your dried starter into a small jar and only add about 1 ounce/28 grams of water. Let that sit for up to 48 hours (stirring well after 24 hours) and see if you get any bubbling. If you do, I think it will be worth proceeding with the process.
