Howdy,
I finally started my second batch last night, a basic APA. I picked up all my ingredients from my LBS and got White Labs California Ale Yeast in the pitchable liquid vial thing. After the wort was cooled and well aerated, i took the vial out of the fridge, shook it up and poured it in. Then I read the label
By not warming it up for a few hours at room temp, and just pouring it into the wort straight from the fridge, did I kill it? I've got no activity at all after 24 hours. My first batch used Coopers dry yeast and that took off quickly.
Should I grab some more yeast just in case it doesn't start within another 24 hours or so?
I hope all is not lost as this batch smells and tastes perfect (to me anyway)
Thanks!
