Hey guys,
Just made Northern Brewer's St. Paul Porter extract kit last Saturday. The OG on the kit is 1.052. Yeast was Wyeast 1187 Ringwood Ale.
I took a gravity reading today (5 days after brewing) and I'm a bit concerned. The SG is at 1.022 still and I haven't seen a bubble in the airlock for a couple days.
This beer was my first go at making a yeast starter and I messed up in two ways. I didn't aerate before adding yeast to starter wort, and I didn't shake starter over the 2 days it was on my counter.
My questions are:
Would that kind of mess up with a starter hurt the yeast?
Should I pitch more yeast?
If I should pitch more, is a pack of S-04 ok (I've got one in the fridge)?
Or should I just give it some more time?
Thanks for any help!
