Making a Stout from an extract kit.
I did everything fine until the last step. I did a full boil instead of a partial and got impatient.
On Tuesday night, I added the dry yeast to the ferment bucket at 82F.
On Wednesday, the bucket temp was down to 75F.
On Thursday it is down to 68F which is room temp.
Still no action on the carboy, even when I press down on the lid. The othe 2 extracts I have done showed activity withing 12 hours.
My question is, should I just open it up and add more dry yeast? Did I kill the other dry yeast? Or should I give the yeast more time?
