I'm looking for advice on what to do with my most recent batch of beer. I brewed an American Wheat on Friday night and pitched around 9pm. There was little to no noticeable activity in the fermentation bucket all weekend. I recognize this could be because of many factors, most often it's because of a seal that is not perfectly tight. Because of this I was patient and gave the beer over 72 hours and then decided to take a gravity reading.
It is clear that fermentation didn't start, I think we used an old/dead yeast.
The advice I am looking for is what to do next. I haven't found much helpful advice on the internet because most people haven't actually taken a reading with their hydrometers and their batches were actually fermenting despite the lack of bubbles in the airlock.
Please give me advice on how to proceed, I would like to salvage this batch if possible..
Thank you in advance.
