48 Hrs - No activity

Yeah.. It's one of those posts...

Stone IPA Clone
2 Safale 05 packets - Rehydrated
66F
OG 1.060

Absolutely no activity. None. I told the lid off to find nothing but unfermented wort. No krausen. It's almost as if I did not put yeast in (which I did).

Should I take a gravity reading?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I've had brews take up to 4 or 5 days to start yet. I'd give it a bit more time.

How old were the packets? If they were not expired, I am amazed that it didn't start yet.

They were well within the expiration time. I remember seeing they expired in 2013.

Take a gravity reading...that's the only way.

Replace lid and air lock and shake the fermenter so as to slosh the wort. Do that every hour for 5 hours then let it set and see what happens.

Okay... it started to ferment... Thanks for the replies
