We're trying a Wheat beer, since Jess seems to really like them. I used Tyler's OJ starter and it worked like a charm. 4:1 water to OJ and then added the washed 1056 yeast. Within a couple of hours it was inflating the (sanitized) balloon I stuck on the bottle. 60 minute boil, 10 minutes in the ice bath, pitched the starter and 12 hours later it is bubbling happily in the basement, no problems at all.
