I just made up a 5 gal batch of Palm O' Porter, used the leftover yeast from the last batch of porter (same recipe). How soon is that supposed to start visibly fermenting. It has been 24 hrs, and nothing is happening. METHODS: After racking to priming bucket..bottled... etc, I left the primary sit (with airlock on, in storage room), came home from work, boiled up another porter, took the old primary, swirled around, poured into sanitized mason, let it settle out, then pitched into fresh wort. Anything wrong with what I did? Or do re-used yeast take longer to get going? Also, the yeast is a White Lab 1098, it took almost 36 hrs to start fermenting with the 1st porter batch, though I did not make a starter. Thanks!
