Had a few friends over for a brew day this past Saturday. I basically supervised them and let them do everything. I was present but not paying attention when the wort was aerating (I was focusing on the yeast and prepping the swamp cooler). My friend claimed to have aerated well so I went ahead a pitched the yeast. Almost 36hrs into the primary and no krausen yet. I'm afraid the wort wasn't adequately aerated. Any opinions on whether or not I shake the crap out of the fermenter to stimulate things? It was about 73F when I pitched and I put it in the swamp cooler immediately after (68F ish). I have since taken it out of the cooler to let it warm up a bit to get this going.
