I usually I use White labs and big starters (consistent 4 hour lag time), but my LHBS had sold out.
What's the typical lag time with Safale-05?
I pitched 2 packets into 5 gallons of oxygenated 1072 wort at 62 degrees without rehydrating. To avoid an extended lag time should I warm it up to 68, or just be patient? (I plan on fermenting at 65-66). It's only been 19 hours, but if this stuff usually takes more than 24 to start then that's going to make me nervous going forward.
