Pitched my first batch last night. Really simple, Cooper's syrup (wheat), amber DME.
"reconstituted" the yeast and pitched about 11pm last night. Nothing happens.
8am this morning had 1/2 inch of foam, no activity in the air-lock.
1:30pm today, 1 inch+ of foam, still no bubbling in the airlock.
Is the yeast bad, (didn't proof it)? Get more yeast? Let it develop?
I had always pictured the yeast activity to be much more active and seeing active bubbling in the air-lock. Am I having too high of expectations?
Any advice here would be helpful.
