I put my 3rd batch in primary yesterday and it has not started bubbling yet! I pitched WLP001 at 78 degrees (too high I know). Yeast tube was out of the refridgerator for over 3 hours so it was at room temp. I aerated by splashing through a strainer into primary and stirring and splashing with my SS spoon and topping off with water that was not boiled.
I brewed the same batch for my 2nd and did everything exactly the same except the pitching temp was closer to 70.
One difference I can think of was I bought my supplies during the day and had to keep it in my van for half a day and forgot about the yeast in the bag until about 8pm that night. Would that hurt the yeast? Other that those 2 things, which the more I think about it are pretty significant, everything else was the same.
Any insite into what the problem may be would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
Bob
