I brewed a batch of Summer Ale on Friday using Wyeast Pacman. I did not make a starter. After pitching the yeast, I put the beer in a dark room in my basement, which is at 67 degs.
On Saturday, I had to leave town for a few days. I came back on Monday and noticed that I didn't have any bubbles. So, I checked my gravity, and it was the same as when I brewed the beer on Friday. Also, there was no krausen. I decided to agitate the wort a bit to see if I could get the yeast going. This morning, there were still no bubbles, so I opened it up again, and there is no krausen, and the gravity is the same as on Friday.
I assume that I got a bad batch of yeast, even though I thought that it smelled okay when I pitched it on Friday.
My question is: what should I do? Is it too late to get additional yeast?
Any thoughts are appreciated.
