So my thermometer was broken last night when I brewed my ESB (and perhaps I was a little impatient) and I may have pitched my yeast at too high a temperature. Well, at least I hope that's the problem because 24 hours later, there is no (as in, zero) yeast activity.
The guys at the brew store said to move it to a warm place (it was in the basement at 60, now upstairs and closer to 70 degrees) and wait another 24 hours to see if things will get moving on their own.
What should I do if nothing happens?
-I planned to activate and pitch another smack pack (no starter)
-The homebrew folks said to pitch a dry yeast.
-Or I could reculture another yeast and pitch again in 24+ hours.
What would you do?
Is my wort going to be ok until I can figure out how to get things going?
