Just need a place to go: Arghhhhh
I'm usually a very patient person, and am very patient in my brewing process.
Except for one area: Yeast Lag.
I get all ninny if I don't see a quick start.
I generally do a starter, and the porter I did a few weeks ago had airlock activity in about 3-4 hours.
Did something different yesterday. Got 2 vials of White Labs WLP001 on Friday, took it out of the fridge about 8AM Saturday, did the shaking-burping thing throughout the day, and pitched into 68F/1.050 wort about 3:30PM.
Now here it is 9AM Sunday and still not activity.
I figured with 2 vials I didn't need a starter.
So, I say: Arghhhhhhhh
Anyway, I feel better now.
