Hey everyone, looking for some advice. I brewed Austin's ESB extract recipe yesterday. Everything was normal except I could only leave out my White Labs yeast vial for about 2 hours before pitching. Austin recommended 24 hours and the vial itself said 3.
Anyway, it's been 26 hours and no sign of fermentation. The temp is 70F. I shook the carboy very lightly just to get the yeast disturbed.
Is it too early to tell if the yeast was bad?
