This is my first batch where I haven't seen any activity within 48 hours. It's a Belgian wit with Safale Belgian ale yeast. I just sprinkled the yeast directly into the wort. There's a chance it wasn't cool enough before I added it.
This morning, I popped open the bucket lid to take a peak, and nothing going on. There was no pressure against the airlock either. I'll take a gravity reading this weekend.
2 questions:
1) If the yeast truly didn't activate, can I add new yeast to try to save the batch?
2) How long do you feel like a batch like this is viable before pitching new yeast isn't an option anymore.
Thanks so much.
