I've read a few similar problems through out this site but I can't find an answer I'm completely satisfied with...with that saying here's the problem...
I brew from kits from the local home brew store and I haven't had any problems with fermentation starting to date. Usually everything starts within 24 hours and I can see action in the air lock.
I did a Belgian Wit on Saturday. Cooled it to about 64-68 degrees, pulled it out of the fridge and pitched the room temp yeast. It was about 70 in the house at that time. I used the White Labs Belgian Yeast.
The Starting Gravity was 1.060, which was dead on according to the home brew list.
It's Tuesday now and I haven't seen any action in the air lock. The temp has remained between 64-68 degrees according to the stick on temp gauge on my fermenting bucket. I even wrapped a sweater and towel around it hoping it'd heat up a little bit. I did open the bucket today to see if anything looked wrong and there was foam in there...again no action in the air lock.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated...and I've already relaxed and had a home brew...a few actually...and now I'm worried haha...
Thanks!
