I'm VERY new to homebrewing, but I did everything pretty much by the book for a batch 2 nights ago and I ran downstairs this morning excited to see some bubbling from the fermentation in my brew... but alas... there was nada.
The brew was sealed and put in my laundry room exactly 38 hours ago, am I still too early to expect to see anything?
The reason I'm worried it might not have started, is because my laundry room was a freezing cold 16 degrees celsius. From what I understand, that will just slow down the yeast dramatically, not kill it.
I've since moved it (very carefully) to my basement where it's a bit warmer, about 18 or so.
The brew is a pilsner, which apparantely can still ferment at a very low temp, but is there anything else I should watch out for?
