I brewed up a 2.5 gallon batch of a chocolate stout yesterday and upon recommendation from the original recipe used WLP004 for my yeast.
I pitched about 3/4 of the vile as it says to use 1 vile for a 5-gallon batch. The yeast had been stored in my fridge for the week and then was taken out the morning of brewing and allowed to get to room temperature. I pitched the yeast at 66° and aerated my wort and today (18 hours later), I am JUST starting to see bubbles on top of my wort.
Is WLP004 just slow to start or could I end up with a stuck fermentation?
Thanks!
