It's been like 4 days and I haven't seen any activity from the yeast. What do I do?
Possibilities...
1. I didn't shake it like crazy. I took the fermenter down stairs and shook for 30 seconds a few times.
2. I didn't dehydrate the yeast well. I forgot it should dehydrate around 95 degrees and it was more like 75.
3. I didn't pitch enough yeast. When I poured the yeast in, a decent amount remained.
4. Bad yeast. I didn't proof it when I dehydrated it and don't know if it was still decent.
5. Temperature of fermenting. Maybe it's too cold in my cellar?
6. I'm impatient. Maybe it just needs some time.
Any ideas? How can I salvage this?
Thanks.
Here is the recipe I brewed.....
6# Wheat LME
8oz flaked Wheat
8oz flaked Oats
1/2 Hallertau Tradition boiled for full 60 mins
1/2 Chinook boiled for 60 mins
Danstar Munich Dry yeast
