Put a ginger beer on last night
Coopers ginger beer lme
500g castor sugar
500g raw sugar
500g dextrose
Cascade finishing hops

Did a wheat beer at the same time...

Woke up and wheat beer is bubbling nicely...
Ginger beer...nothing

It's been 10hrs in fermenter
Did a hydro test on ginger beer and it hasn't moved..

Shall I leave it longer and hydro tomorrow?
I do have more yeast here, if I have no reaction by or change in hydro reading could I re-pitch or am I waisting my time?
 
Did you add yeast? :)
Seriously, don't start worrying for at least 48 hours. Most of my brews are fermenting after 18 hours, but I've had several that took longer.

-a.
 
Cheers mate :)
Yeah I just saw no sign of it doing anything...
Beer I've done..ginger beer, this is the 1st :)
Hahaha think I added yeast, pretty damn sure...had a few before/while/after hahaha

Question though, is ginger beer ment to ferment quicker or is that variable?
