I posted this in the beginners forum but didn't get an answer so I thought I'd bring it over here and see what I get.
I pitched my first Wyeast lager smack pack for a Steamer on Wed night and after a few days of watching the airlock there's no activity. The surface of the beer is clear too...it looks like nothing is happening...or ever WILL happen. I know that lager ferments at the bottom but no activity?
FYI the temp strip has been in the low 60's (per recipie). I also added some nutrient in the last 10 min to encourage growth.
What I'm trying to get at is this normal for a lager or do I need to repitch?
