Was the yeast and the wort close to the same temp at time of pitching? 48hrs is quite awhile, but I'd give it another 24 before setting your hair on fire. Your current temps look good. Are you in a bucket for the primary then moving to a secondary? I'm personally a fan of no bucket no...

Nott's is my go to yeast. Fast easy and clean finish. Be sure to follow the rehydration instructions for best results. http://www.hopdawgs.ca/index.php/resources/nottingham-dry-yeast/

I have a question for you 10G brewers. I'd like to hear from as many of you as possible regarding brew kettle size. Who uses 60Qt vs 80Qt for your brew kettle. Thanks, HD

Hey there Vancouverite. There's no substitute for fresh ingredients. If there is some way you can grow your own or source September fresh hops you'll be amazed. Call me next September I'll send you a 4oz bag of Chinook. Seriously.:mug: HD

Hello Bock, I sure wished I paid more attention to the french teacher in high school rather that the pretty brunette sitting next to me. There's a few suppliers across Canada that ship. Me, Hop Dawgs being one, Canadian Homebrewing in Toronto and I believe there's a shop in Halifax though...

Hello Guillaume, Welcome to the forum. Good luck with your brew system. Oh I should mention, be careful taking the wort chiller out of the box, I have packed the diffusion stone inside the chiller box. Don't drop the stone on the floor they are fragile. HD
