Last Sunday I brewed a Oktoberfest Lager based on this Northern Brewer kit.
I added a pack of the Wyeast Oktoberfest blend yeast - the pack had swollen properly and everything. It has been about 40 hours since I pitched the yeast, but I don't see any activity in the fermenter yet - no foams on the surface or airlock activity.
The yeast was added at ~60F. Temperature of the wort now is ~55F.
Given it's a lager and the OG is 1.058, I know I should have either double-pitched or made a starter. However the kit instruction did not mention either, so I thought it would be ok.
Anyhow, wondering if there is anything I can do now, or should I just be patient ?
