I just read in another thread to not worry about fermentation delays, and to wait 24-72 hours for activity to begin...
I thought that I had somehow killed my yeast. About 36 hours had passed with zero activity. The original pitch: I added about 1 1/2 cups of wort to a sterile mason jar and added my room temp liquid yeast, shook vigorously.
This is my first non-kit brew, by the way.
I added more yeast after not seeing any signs of fermentation (same amount of liquid yeast) using the same pitching method, but stirring and aerating gently, not shaking it.
Fermentation began this morning. My airlock is very active.
Will my finished product be okay? Should I ferment as normal, or should I adjust my fermentation time?
-thanks

P.S. The recipe is the "Porter" in The Brewmaster's Bible, if that makes a difference.
