Has anybody used this dry yeast before?
i used it for the first time. Normally I use S-05 or S-04 and a krausen forms and visible fermentation takes place within 12-18 hours.
When I used this yeast I didn't get any activity for 36 hours! There was absolutely no Krausen forming and thought perhaps the yeast was faulty and almost threw my beer out as a result. now after 3 days it's fermenting like crazy.
I brewed another beer on Sunday, with the same yeast, using a different package and so far after almost 20 hours later the same thing is happening - no activity and no krausen forming.
Anyone have experience with this yeast? I almost always get visible fermentation within 12 hours so this is very new to me. both beers have an OG of 1.050. the first beer i rehydrated it, the second beer I pitched it dry.
Look forward to your thoughts.
