No yeast activity...... Yet

Postby petey mcgee » Mon Aug 06, 2012 6:30 am

Last night I brewed a Brown ale and for the first time, I used harvested yeast. The yeast was 1056 from a batch of similar OG pale ale (1.050) three weeks old. I racked, swirled, poured off, settled, decanted, then poured about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the remaining slurry into the 60 degree wort. That was about 9 hours ago, and now nothing. Is this a situation where i need to bring it to a warmer environment to kick start the yeast? right now the temp reads 62. Thanks

Just wait it out. If you don't see any activity after 48 hours, I would add another yeast.

thanks
