starter. I let it ferment for three days, pulled it out to warm up and pitch, ended up putting it back in the fridge, pulled it out and then pitched it once it was room temp.
This was a smack pack that was near expiration. I added yeast food to the starter and was able to make a nice cake.
I pitched the yeast three days ago and I haven't seen any signs of fermentation in my air lock. I haven't taken any gravity readings since pitching.
Would it mess the taste of the beer up too badly to re-pitch with a fresh, up to date smack pack?
If not, any ideas on how to kick start this bad boy?
BTW, it's a Kolsch and I used 2565 as the yeast.
