Hi all-
Didnt think I would be writing one of these posts but I am starting to find my resolve is not what I thought it was. My first batch is an IPA and I brewed on Monday. I rehydrated and proofed my yeast and it showed clear signs of activity before pitching(foaming, bubbles). On Weds I brewed a Wheat beer and again repeated the process. The yeast was barely showing any signs. NOt near the foam or bubbles. However, when I looked closely I could see some small bubbles and activity. So I went ahead and pitched, aerated and put cap and airlock on. Since my first batch showed great airlock activity in the first 15-20 hours I am a little concerned that I have none with my latest batch. I also took a gravity reading a half hour ago and it had not changed since the OG reading(1.049). Should I repitch or wait it out another 24 hrs or so?? Thanks much for puting up with another newb.
