Hello,
Im still pretty new and mostly lurk around for info. Ive done about 10 all-grain batches now and they all took off fairly quick except one Scotch ale that took three days. Well, the other day I split 10 gal of Indian Brown with a friend into two carboys and pitched S04. One took off in a few hrs and went crazy but Im coming up on 48hrs and the other has not done a thing. Im pretty confident in my sanitation and am going to wait for ~72hr before re-pitching if needed. My problem is I don't have any S04 on hand, but I do have a few packets of S05. Would it make a terrible difference using the S05? The LHBS is a ways away and I dont really have the time to run up there, but I would if thats my best option. Thanks!
