Hello All,
I think I may have a batch not fermenting and I was afraid of this happening since we brewed. Here's what happened:
This was an extract batch of Octoborfest. A friend who picked up the ingredients had a yeast I had never used before. I have used the dry and the liquid but I had never seen the pouches. He read the directions and we thought we knew how to use but when he added the yeast the pouch inside was still intact. With no real options at the time we broke the inner pouch as well and added it too.
Its been 10 days in a fermentation bucket.
SG - 1.042
I will take a reading today and post.
The has been very little activity
Iam no expert but have brewed many batches and have never seen such a lack of activity.
- What would a gooD reading be after 10 days?
- Any suggestions what to do if under fermented?
Thanks
